| Description of the problem | Driving at various speeds, most often approaching a stop the vehicle will shut off leaving no power systems. This has occurred at higher speeds and has almost caused an accident in one case. Vehicle starts up immediately after occurrence. Called the dealership who is aware of this occurring with this model and year but states it probably will be unable to diagnose if the vehicle is not towed from point of occurrence. Dealer stated they could try to replicate the problem by driving it around??? I told him you might be driving for quite some time. I don't want my wife operate the car. As a retired state trooper i am experienced in operating vehicles under hazardous conditions but don't like the idea of having to drive this vehicle until and issue occurs. It is just a mater of time until there is a serious accident. Numerous people have reported this both by nhtsa complaint and different forums. |
