Description of the problem	While driving my vehicle at about 10 mph on the expressway/street, my car just shut off for no reason and the engine light went on. I had to restart my vehicle. Sometimes, when at a stance, the vechicle shakes a little as if it wants to shut off. I'll restart it and it seems to help a little bit. I am extremely concerned as the car has shut off on me at least 5 separate times. I feel this is a hazard for my four year old son and i. Please look into this serious matter. Thank you!

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
