| Description of the problem | While driving my vehicle, the engine suddenly shut off, and the transmission went into neutral. I immediately turned the car back on, and pulled to a stop sign. I gave my car a few revs just to make sure everything was fine. Everything seemed to check out, so i continue driving. While driving about 40mph and straight, the car shuts off again, and this time i have a complete loss of steering and brakes. Thankfully i manage to avoid hitting the car in front of me by using my emergency brake slowly. This time the vehicle did not turn back on. After researching this issue it |
