Consumer Description

WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE SHARP TURNS THE VEHICLE WILL SPONTANEOUSLY SHUT OFF CAUSING THE POWER STEERING AND BREAKING TO NOT WORK. THERE ARE NO ERROR CODES THAT COME UP AND THE RADIO AND AIR/HEAT CONTINUE TO WORK. THE ONLY REASON YOU KNOW THE CAR SHUT OFF IS BECAUSE THE BREAKS AND POWER STEERING WON'T WORK. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES BUT YOU CAN NEVER RECREATE THE PROBLEM ON CUE. IT JUST HAPPENS RANDOMLY WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAS HAPPENED BOTH COMING OFF THE HIGHWAY RAMP AROUND A TURN AND ON A NORMAL BACK ROAD STREET GOING AROUND A TURN. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS 11-13-2019
