Consumer Description

VEHICLE HAS ON 2 OCCASIONS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. WITHOUT WARNING, THE ENGINE, BATTERY, AND OIL LIGHTS COME ON AT THE SAME TIME AND VEHICLE IMMEDIATELTY SHUTS ITSELF OFF. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER BOTH OCCURRENCES. THE IAC, DPFE, AND FUEL PUMP RELAY WERE ALL REPLACED AND MY VEHICLE'S PCM WAS REPROGRAMMED. NONE OF THESE "FIXES" HAVE SOLVED THE PROBLEM. ALTHOUGH THE TECHNICIAN WORKING ON THE VEHICLE AND THE SHOP FOREMAN HAVE MADE EVERY EFFORT TO ASSIST ME WITH THE PROBLEM, THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM HAS YET TO BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE, BUT CANNOT EXPLAIN WHAT IS WRONG OR HOW TO REPAIR IT. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY ESCAPE KNOWING THAT IT COULD SHUT ITSELF OFF AT ANY TIME WITHOUT WARNING IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD.*AK
