Consumer Description

THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE STALLED, LOSING CONTROL OF THE STEERING AND THE BRAKES. I HAD TO COAST TO A STOP IN THE CENTER TURNING LANE. AFTER THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP, I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RESTARTED THE CAR WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. IF THERE HAD NOT BEEN A TURNING LANE, I WOULD HAVE CRASHED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. IF I HAD BEEN PASSING A CAR AT THE TIME, I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME, BUT FROM RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM, IT IS APPARENT THIS IS HAPPENING TO MANY PEOPLE. I TOOK THE TRIBUTE TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT OCCURING WITH MY VEHICLE, BUT WITH THE 2.0 LITER ENGINE TRIBUTES. HE IMPLIED THAT I MIGHT HAVE HIT THE KEYS IN SOME WAY AND TURN THE ENGINE OFF. I GOT NO SATISFACTION FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, SO I HAD NO OPTION BUT TO VOICE MY CONCERN ABOUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE.*AK
