| Description of the problem | Approximately 10 times, while driving my vehicle at various speeds (10, 30 and 70 mph) my vehicle has stalled. One time, while driving 70 miles, with my children in the car, my vehicle stalled while in the outside lane. I had to get across five lanes of traffic, with no power, including no power steering and i barely made it over. My vehicle has also stalled while pulling out of my development, which is on a road that is posted 45 mph and on a bend. So when i have stalled in the middle of the intersection, i have cars who round the bend at 45 mph and i, and my children, our sitting ducks unable to move. It is only a matter of time before someone gets killed. I brought it the dealership, they kept it for several days and several hundred dollars for them to tell me they do not know what is wrong. Two things to note: it always stalls after hitting a bump, and i carry approximately 30 keys and rings on the chain that holds my ignition key. I do not think that this is a coincidence and i take this very seriously. My children, other innocent people, or myself are going to be seriously hurt or killed and i want this investigated aggressively. |
