Consumer Description

VEHICLE HAS RANDOMLY SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING. LOSS OF POWER, POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. VERY DANGEROUS. TOOK TO DEALER AND LEFT FOR A WEEK FOR THEM TO TEST AND REPLICATE AND REPAIR. THEY SAID THEY WERE UNABLE TO. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. EACH TIME, SO FAR, I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP OUT OF TRAFFIC, BUT I FEAR THAT IT MAY HAPPEN IN A LESS FORTUNATE SETTING. IT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY, JUST DRIVING STRAIGHT AHEAD DOWN THE ROAD. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND A RED LIGHTING BOLT LIGHT ALSO COMES ON OVER ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL.
