Description of the problem	While driving on the freeway my engine just shut off and continues to do so every time i drive my car. So, my brakes and steering lock up because the engine shuts off. My mechanic told me there was a recall dme ms45 - fc28b2, 28aa, 28ac; internal ram faults model e46 m54 with ms45. 1 from 9/00 to 7/06 e83 m54 with ms45. 0/ms45. 1 from 9/03 to 9/06 e85 m54 with ms45. 0 from 10/04 to 1/06 e60 m54 with ms45. 1 from 9/03 to 3/05 situation customers may complain about a crank/no start or a rough start situation. The "service engine soon light" or the dsc light is illuminated, and one of the 3 scenarios may apply: fc 28b2 "rpm limiting reset " is stored in the dme together with one, or more of the following faults which are caused by the 28b2: fc 28ac - "nominal torque", fc 2796 - "throttle flap: adaptation wrong", fc 27a1 - "throttle flap: start check", fc 2869 - "dme self diagnostic: ram check failed". Fc 28aa "idle speed regulator" is stored in the dme. Fc 28ac "nominal torque" is stored in the dme. Cause fault codes 28b2, 28aa and 28ac indicate an internal dme ram fault. Procedure perform the appropriate dis/gt1 test modules for the 28b2, 28aa or 28ac. Replace the dme if prompted by the dis/gt1 test module results. Important: do not replace the throttle body for the throttle faults, stored in conjunction with fc28b2, even when the test plan recommends to do so. Please can i get this repaired and covered for all the cost before i kill myself or my grandchildren... At courtesy motors chico 2520 cohasset rd. Chico,ca 95973 thank you kindly

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
