I WAS DRIVING ON A FREEWAY AND ENGINE/POWER WENT DOWN WHILE DRIVING. AFTER STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FASTEST LANE IN THE FREEWAY, I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES SO FAR WHILE OWNING THIS CAR. I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT BY THE CARS BEHIND ME BUT LUCKILY ALL 3 TIMES I WAS FINE JUST UNHAPPY DRIVERS HONKING ME FROM BEHIND. SINCE THE REPAIR COST MIGHT BE SKY HIGH, I AM YET TO BRING MY CAR TO THE DEALER. *TR
