| Description of the problem | Multiple incidents of 'collision prevention assist plus inoperative'. Car loses all power until restarted. This happened several times, once on an interstate at 65 mph creating a dangerous situation. I had to pull over several lanes on the interstate with no power while other cars had to avoid me. I brought the car into the dealer and after a week of repairs, the same fault has occurred twice in the first 24 hours after return of vehicle. Fault occurred at 60 mph during a passing maneuver on a 2 lane road. Again, we were put in a very dangerous situation. This is an unsafe vehicle. Attached is a picture of the dashboard fault that i photographed after the car coasted to the side of the road. The car would not move until i turned it off and restarted. |
