Description of the problem | Fyi... This has happened multiple times at various speeds. The engine will just shut off while driving down the road. Many times before this i have experienced the shuddering that has been reported numerous times but when the car begins to lose power without warning it is extremely dangerous. My family and i have been extremely blessed that each time this has happened i have been able to get to the shoulder of the road. The only thing that works is to restart the car. Two different dealerships have dealt with the issues and both have done everything they know to do. The torque converter was replaced and the computer was replaced also. We purchased the car with approximately 22000 miles so the lemon law does not apply to us. For the 7 months that we have owned the car, it has been at the service departments half of the time. It is very frightening that we purchased a "like new" car and now my family and i do not feel safe in it. |
