Consumer Description

3 TIMES WHILE TRAVELING 55 TO 60 MPH THE ENGINE STALLED WHILE IN TRAFFIC. EACH TIME I PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL AND UNSUCCESFULLY ATTEMPTED A ROLLING RESTART. UPON GETTING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP AT THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD I PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK AND WAS ABLE TO COMPLETE A SUCCESSFUL RESTART AND RESUME NORMAL DRIVING. THE LOSS OF ACCELERATOR CONTROL AND POWER STEERING WHILE IN TRAFFIC IS A DISCONCERTING EXPERIENCE. I WAS NOT GOING TO REPORT IT, HOWEVER I FOUND MYSELF DOING SOME RESEARCH ON YOUR WEBSITE WHERE I FOUND THAT THIS SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED TO SOMEONE ELSE. UPON FINDING THAT MY EXPERIENCE WAS NOT ISOLATED I FELT THAT IT SHOULD BE REPORTED TO YOU. THIS IS A WELL TAKEN CARE OF AUTOMOBILE DRIVEN ONLY SEVEN MONTHS OF THE YEAR AND STORED FOR 5 MONTHS. EACH TIME THIS OCCURRED THE WEATHER WAS WARM. *AK
