| Description of the problem | On several occasions the engine has shut down without warning. This has happened at idle (stopped at a red light) and when traveling 70+mph on the interstate. The event happens very fast and the engine restarts within 30sec. The warning lights on the dashboard light up like a christmas tree but all systems continue working (ac, radio, etc). I have taken it to 2 different mechanics and neither one has been able to identify the problem. This has been very scary and makes me feel unsafe driving this vehicle. |
