| Description of the problem | Please read... Traveling on interstate 75 n / approximate speed 65 - 75 mph / vehicle "turned off, went dead" / coasted through two lanes to get to an emergency side spot! It truly is a miracle that we were not ran over!!! Contacted a wrecker service and having to wait 1 1/2hrs on the side of a busy interstate, our vehicle was lifted and taken to a dealership / the wrecker driver wasn't able to get vehicle started or out of gear until he accessed help via his phone, which allowed him to move gear but still didn't crank / next day, a rep from the dealership called and said the vehicle started up and the issue mentioned above could not be replicated??? A strange report was given that there seem to be grease from an unknown source that was seen under the vehicle and perhaps that caused the problem??? We picked the vehicle up and made it home (70 mi) / this is extremely worrisome, not to mention, of course it could be deadly! Please help. |
