Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING WHEN MY CAR IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF ALMOST CAUSING ME TO GET HIT FROM BEHIND. LUCKILY, THERE WAS A GAS STATION FOR ME TO QUICKLY PULL INTO AND GET OUT OF THE LANE BEFORE COMPLETELY COMING TO A HALT. I'M CONFUSED AS TO WHY THERE ISN'T A RECALL ON THE 3 SERIES. THIS IS CAN CAUSE FATALITIES.
