| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | The vehicle stops running without warning. It has occurred on three occasions: once at a slow speed (25 mph) on flat terrain, going uphill at 57 mph, going down hill at 45 mph, all in good weather conditions and traveling in a straight line. The car cannot be immediately restarted, but after a period of minutes will restart. The engine seems to be in good condition and has plenty of power. There appears to be no engine/mechanical reason for these events. The events leave no trace or error message that can be obtained by our mechanic. If this power outage occurred when in the passing lane, crossing a rode at an unprotected intersection or other condition where stalling out randomly would leave us or others in a life threatening situation it would be terrible. We have been forced to stop driving the vehicle for fear of injury or worse. |
