A mechanic says it is PCM failure. I have owned the car for 18 months. Shortly after buying it, it started doing this thing where it loses power for just a second or two. Cruise control and proximity sensors kick off, steering wheel locks and/or power steering turns off, all interior components turn off.

I TRIED THE GAS PEDDLE BUT THE ENGINE WAS UNRESPONSIVE AS WELL. I WAS PUSHED OFF THE HIGHWAY BY HIGHWAY PATROL. WHEN THE TOW COMPANY SHOWED UP, THE DRIVER OF THE TOW TRUCK WAS ABLE TO START MY...
