| Description of the problem | While driving, my car will randomly shut off completely. There is a dinging noise and a quick flash of the battery light and then it says the press brake and push start. I can not accelerate but can brake. As soon as i'm completely stopped, the steering locks and it struggles to start again. It is random and has happened more than once in a row. It happened 4 months ago and the service department said the battery failed and replaced the battery, but it happened again a week again while i was turning. After i restarted it, it did it like 15 seconds later. Then two days after that it shut off randomly while i was driving 35-40 mph down a straight road. I've taken it in again and this time they can't find anything wrong with it. Battery was fine, no codes. Even the software that got updated because of the recall (stalling while driving) was fine. I've seen people say that the oil level can cause it to stall, but my oil was at 60% at the time it started happening. It's not safe that the car randomly shuts off without notice, while driving on a road or highway. That can cause a serious accident if it happens at the wrong time. |
