Consumer Description
AS A SLOWED TO MAKE A TURN IN AN INTERSECTION (DOWNTOWN IN A MAJOR CITY) THE CAR STARTED JUMPING AND THEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF A MAJOR INTERSECTION AND THE STEERING LOCKED UP. I TURNED ON MY HAZARDS AND LUCKILY NO ONE HIT ME, BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT START UP. HOWEVER, ONE I GAVE IT SOME GAS WHILE STARTING THE IGNITION IT TURNED OVER, BUT THE CAR DIED TWO MORE TIMES BEFORE I COULD SAFELY PARK IT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME MY TURBOS WERE BLOWN. MY CAR HAS LESS THAN 60K MILES, WELL MAINTAINED, AND IT'S ONLY BEEN USED AS A COMMUTER VEHICLE.
