Consumer Description

THE CAR'S ENGINE WILL CUT OFF, LIGHTS AND ELECTRICITY WILL STAY ON, BUT THE ENGINE WILL CUT OUT WHILE DRIVING. ACCELERATION IS LOST, AND CANNOT START MOVING AGAIN UNTIL THE CAR IS PUT IN PARK, TURNED OFF, AND TURNED BACK ON. THIS IS WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT 30 MPH AND SLOWER, AS WELL AS 55 MPH. THE CAR WILL GIVE AN ENGINE FAULT OR ENGINE FAILURE AND BEGIN JERKING. THIS HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY AND CITY STREETS. THE MOST RECENT TIME, THE CAR BEGAN JERKING AFTER TURNING AND COULD NOT STAY ON FOR LONGER THAN 10 SECONDS BEFORE SHUTTING OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 6-10 TIMES, AND ALMOST CAUSED CAR ACCIDENTS. MULTIPLE PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED, AND THE ISSUE STILL HAPPENS.
