Consumer Description

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, THE ENGINE HAS DIED WHILE TURNING AT AN INTERSECTION. ON EVERY OCCASION I WAS TRAVELING AT THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT PRIOR TO SLOWING DOWN IN ANTICIPATION OF THE TURN. ON EVERY OCCASION THE ENGINE DIED RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN, CAUSING ME TO LOSE BOTH POWER STEERING AND BRAKES, FORCING ME TO JUST MANHANDLE IT TO AVOID COLLISIONS AND HOPING THE GUY BEHIND ME DIDN'T PLOW INTO MY REAR END. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST DEALER SERVICE CENTER BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM OR FIX IT.
