| Description of the problem | This has happened on 4 separate occasions, both while driving in town at slow speeds and on a highway at high speeds. The check engine light will come on and the car will cut off, no power at all. On each occasion i put the car in neutral and restarted the car immediately and it resumed it's normal driving capacity. It is very scary to be driving along and then all of a sudden the car cuts off for no reason. The last time it happened i was in the middle of a sharp curve, so not having power steering at that point was not very safe, as i ended up in the other lane but thank goodness there wasn't a car coming in the other direction at the time. |
