Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING MY ENGINE RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF AND MY WHEEL LOCKS. AFTER IT DOES SO THE CAR WON'T START BACK UP. WHEN IT FINALLY DOES AND I GET THE CAR INTO PARK, THE CAR SHUTS BACK OFF AND IT REPEATEDLY DOES SO UNTIL IT WON'T START AT ALL AND I HAVE TO WAIT 15-39 MINUTES FOR IT TO START UP AND DRIVE NORMAL. THIS HAPPENS MORE THAN 5 OR 10 MINES ON A DAILY BASIS. IT HAPPENS ON HIGHWAYS, CITY STREETS, IT EVEN SHUTS OFF WHEN I'M NOT IN MOTION. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT SPEED I'M GOING OR IF I'M INCREASING OR DECREASING MY SPEED. IT SHUTS OFF WHEN EVER AND WHERE EVER.
