Description of the problem | I have had two separate incidents where my vehicle's engine completely lose power while driving. There is no warning and the steering locks up and my car is immediately disabled each time i came extremely close to being hit by on coming traffic. With the incident the car suddenly start slowing down and when i pressed the gas pedal nothing happened but all the sensors popped up i was able to pull over just as it lost power and the car wouldn't restart and i had it towed. Few days later car started as if nothing happened i began to drive it again but after about a week i was on the highway during morning rush hour attempted to cross lanes and it suddenly lost power again and i couldn't move the vehicle at all i feel very unsafe driving the car beacuse this happens randomly and without warning |
