Consumer Description

ON TWO OCCASIONS: TRAVELING AT APPROX 65-70MPH THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STALLS AND WE HAVE BEEN FORCED TO STOP ON THE SHOULDER. THE STEERING WORKS, BUT THERE IS NO POWER GOING TO THE ENGINE WHICH EVENTUALLY STALLS. IT STARTS AFTER 2 ATTEMPTS AND THEN DRIVES NORMALLY. FIRST OCCASION, IT WAS RAINING AND THE 'EYESIGHT CAMERAS; WERE ON. AT FIRST WE THOUGHT THIS WAS THE ISSUE. THE SECOND OCCASION, IT WAS AGAIN RAINING AND I TURNED THE CAMERAS OFF (THINKING THAT MAY HAVE BEEN THE PROBLEM BEFORE) AND IT STALLED AGAIN. VERY DANGEROUS TO BE TRAVELING AT SUCH A HIGH RATE OF SPEED IN TRAFFIC TO HAVE ENGINE STALL.
