Consumer Description

Multiple times while driving the check engine light has come on, followed by some shaking then the car shuts off. Taking it into the dealership for service is of no help as they claim the car is fine, but this keeps happening. Very dangerous and if you read online and complaints on this board this is not an isolated event.
