| Description of the problem | Vehicle is stalling and losing complete loss of power, very hard to steer vehicle. Occurs usually at low speeds, while turning or just driving straight. I have to place my vehicle in park & restart my engine. This has happened twice while i was turning in traffic & nearly collided with other vehicles with 3 small children in the car. I have requested for this to be diagnosed and researched several times by mechanics, but the defect has never been duplicated, resulted in a diagnosis, or resolved by a mechanic. It randomly occurs and just occurred again today in traffic, while turning left on an inside lane. I had cars behind and next to me. I had to come to a slow stop, but was unable to turn the wheel enough to remain in my lane, almost causing an accident. I feel this can result in a potentially fatal accident and want to report this immediately. I don't know what to do aside from seeking legal counsel at this point. |
