Consumer Description

ON THREE (3) SEPARATE OCCASIONS IN THE PAST YEAR, THE VEHICLE ENTERS WHAT APPEARS TO BE AN "ELECTRICAL SYSTEM RESET" OF SORTS. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON LONG DISTANCE TRIPS DURING OPERATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WILL SUDDENLY POWER OFF AND ON REPEATEDLY, THE ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS WILL UNLOCK AND RELOCK, THE ENGINE WILL LOSE POWER (QUITE SCARY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS) AND THE VEHICLE MUST BE REMOVED FROM THE ROAD, POWERED DOWN, LET SIT IDLE FOR 5-10 MINUTES AND THEN CAN BE RESTARTED TO A NORMAL OPERATING CONDITION. IT IS ALMOST AS IF THE COMPUTER SYSTEM IS RESETTING ITSELF WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN OPERATION AND MOVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE (3) TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR - ALL ON LONG TRIPS - MARCH, JULY, AND NOVEMBER. THE MOST RECENT, INSTANCE OCCURRED ABOUT THREE HOURS INTO A RETURN TRIP HOME AND RECURRED AGAIN ABOUT 1-1/2 HOURS LATER (10 MINUTES FROM HOME) DURING THE SAME TRIP. BY RESTARTING/RESETTING THE VEHICLE, I WAS ABLE TO GET HOME. I TOOK TO ADVANCED AUTO AND THE DIAGNOSTIC CAME UP NEGATIVE - NO CODES, BATTERY AND STARTUP ALL GOOD. I HAVE A LARGE FAMILY AND USE THIS VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT THEM AROUND TOWN AND FOR VACATIONS AND SUCH. THIS IS QUITE A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN IT OCCURS AND I AM AFRAID IT MAY LEAVE US STRANDED AT SOME POINT IN TIME, OR WORSE.
