Consumer Description

MY LIFE WAS ALMOST TAKEN AWAY BY MY CARS ENGINE FAILING IN THE MIDDLE OF MAKING A LEFT TURN ON A 4-LANE ROAD WHERE TRAFFIC IS GOING 50 MPH. WHEN IT STALLED, THE ENGINE JUST QUIT LEAVING ONLY ELECTRICAL (LIGHTS & MEDIA) WORKING. I FELT I WAS TRAPPED AS A CAR WAS HEADED RIGHT FOR ME AND I COULD NOT EVEN INCREASE SPEED BECAUSE THE WHOLE CAR JUST SEEM TO NOT MOVE FORWARD. I EVENTUALLY PULLED INTO A MEDIAN, BUT NONETHELESS I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR. MUCH LIKE THE PERSON WHO ALSO REPORTED THIS ISSUE. *TR
