Description of the problem | Recently, the vehicle has started shutting off while driving. On september 13, 2014, while driving the vehicle, the "service battery charging system" light came on. I immediately contacted the dealership, which instructed me to bring the vehicle in. When i dropped the vehicle off at the dealership, the service technician saw the service light. The dealership inspected the vehicle over the next couple days and stated it was not able to find a problem. I picked the vehicle up the morning of september 17, 2014. Within hours of picking up the vehicle from the dealership, i was driving the vehicle to lunch when, in the middle of a turn, the vehicle shut off and lost all power, including the power steering, making it hard to turn. The power came back on within a few seconds. When i told my wife what had happened, she informed me the same thing happened to her while parked ? The vehicle shut off and lost all power. I immediately contacted the dealership and was instructed to bring the vehicle back to the dealership. The dealership kept the vehicle several days. Initially, the dealership informed me it was not able to locate a problem. The dealership kept the vehicle a few extra days to further inspect the vehicle. During this time, the dealership informed me the vehicle lost power while it was testing it as well. The dealership discovered a burnt terminal in the fuse box. The dealership replaced the fuse junction block, and my wife picked the vehicle up from the dealership on september 23, 2014. On october 13, 2014, less than three weeks after the vehicle was purportedly repaired, the vehicle again shut off and lost all power while my wife was backing out of the driveway. The power returned within a few seconds. |
