Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY CAR WILL JUST SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY THEN TURN BACK ON. SOMETIME THE RADIO WILL GO OUT WITH POWER STEERING, ETC. IT JUST SHUTS DOWN FOR NO REASON. WE'VE REPLACEMENT THE BATTERY CABLE SEVERAL MONTHS AGO AS WE HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND IT WORKED FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS. IF I USE MY TURN SIGNAL SOMETIMES IT WILL SHUT DOWN AND TURN BACK ON. DID IT ABOUT 20 TIMES TODAY ON THE WAY TO WORK. WITH MY TWO SMALL CHILDREN IN THE CAR WITH ME. I AM USUALLY DRIVING AROUND 65 TO 75 MPH WHEN THIS HAPPENS.
