Consumer Description

The entire vehicle turns off while driving down the road at 50mph. I am uncertain what part failed and have reproduced the issue on many occasions. This issue is a danger to not only my life but of those around me the vehicle shuts off unable to steer and unable to brake while still traveling at high speeds. This loss of control will result in the loss of limb or life if it hasn't already. Given the issue has existed for over 12 years now this needs to be investigated as the cause is completely unknown. When the issue accures it is without indication or warning it happens abruptly and seemingly without cause.
