Consumer Description

THE ENGINE STALLED WHILE TRAVELLING 35MPH. I WAS BRAKING LIGHTLY GOING AROUND A LEFT HANDED CURVE AND HIT A BUMP. THE RADIO AND AC WERE ON. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I LOST POWER ASSIST TO THE STEERING AND BRAKES WHICH MADE IT HARD TO COMPLETE THE CURVE SAFELY. I GOT THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, BUT NOT OUT OF THE ROAD, BEFORE IT CAME TO A STOP. I TURNED OFF THE RADIO AND AC, THEN THE IGNITION SWITCH. I WAITED ABOUT 90 SEC. AND IT RESTARTED ON THE SECOND TRY. IT HAS NOT HAPPENED AGAIN, BUT NOW THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON ALL THE TIME AND THE VEHICLE HESITATES. I AM TAKING IT IN TOMORROW TO THE DEALER.*AK
