| Description of the problem | The engine died going 70mph on the hwy with out any notice. I was barely able to get to the side of road as steering locked up, once on side of road, i put it into 'park' and 'restarted the engine'. It worked just fine from then on, till about 3 months later, it happened again. This time i was approaching a stop light and turning right, i barely was able to get thru the light and to the side of the road, as the steering had again locked up. This is very scary! Everything in the car turns 'off', i dont even think the flashers worked during these times. Once at a complete stop, and after putting into 'park', everything starts back up normally, and drives fine. There is not any other signs of anything wrong, no dash light warnings or anything. |
