Consumer Description

VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AS WELL AS TAKING TURNS. JUST SHUTS OFF WITH NO WARNING. AFTER IT SHUTS OFF THE LIGHTNING BOLT IN PARENTHESES (ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM) COMES ON, THEN GOES AWAY. CAR SHOWS AS STILL RUNNING, BUT WON'T MOVE. SOMETIMES THE LOW OIL GAUGE COMES ON, BUT THE VEHICLE IS UP TO DATE WITH OIL CHANGES. VERY UNSAFE FOR VEHICLE TO JUST "STOP MOVING" OR "SHUT OFF" IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING, OR IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON AND OFF FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS, BUT NOW IT IS DAILY.
