Description of the problem | As i am driving over 40 mph, the vehicle will lose all power and caution lights illuminate on the dash, radio turns off, power steering goes out, car decreases speed. The car immediately turns back on, but there is no acceleration to the vehicle. This has happened 3 times in the last 5 days and it happed 3 times today march 12, 2019. All incidents were on city streets, while going straight at speeds 40 mph or more. The last time, was while i was making a right turn getting on the freeway. After each occurrence, i would safely pull off the road, turn the vehicle off, wait a couple seconds and turn the car back on. The car would resume back to normal. I have noticed that after the first time this happened, when i do the first attempt to turn the car on, it does not turn over. |
