Consumer Description

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE BEFORE ENGINE CEASES TO OPERATE AT ANY SPEED. AFTER ENGINER SHUTS DOWN, IT TAKES 30 TO 60 MINUTES BEFORE AUTOMOBILE WILL RESTART. TOOK AUTOMOBILE IN FOR SERVICE SEVERAL TIMES. DEALER REPLACED SWITCH ON TRANSMISSION, SWITH REPLACEMENT DID NOT HELP, ENGINE CONTINUES TO SHUT DOWN AT ALL SPEEDS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS ON HIGHWAY AND EXPRESSWAYS. WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I HAVE READ THE OTHER CONSUMER COMPLAINTS PERTAINING TO ENGINE SHUT DOWN PROBLEMS, SOUNDS LIKE WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED OR INJURED IN AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT.
