| Description of the problem | My vehicle's engine unexpectedly shuts off while i'm driving. The first time it happened while i was driving over 50 mph, that scared me because i lost my power steering and it was hard to control my vehicle. The other thing is that once it shuts off, the vehicle won't let you restart on the fly, you have to come to a complete stop, put the vehicle in park and restart your engine. That can be potentially dangerous on the freeway. |
