| Description of the problem | Left my house and when stopped at a stop sign felt a jerk movement and lost brakes for a quick second. After pulling away from the stop sign and continuing down the road at approx. 45 mph the car completely started decelerating and lost steering and brakes then completely lost power and car shut off. After trying to restart it multiple times it would start for a minute then when put into drive it would die again after a few tries and had children the car i finally had to have it towed home. This is a very big safety issue that needs to be addressed before someone is killed! |
