| Description of the problem | My car shuts off without any warning while i am driving without any warning, everything goes completely dead. It started at about 8000 miles. Since then, it has cut off at least 5 more times. My car only has 11,000 miles on it. I took it to the dealer where they ran numerous diagnostics on my car and they could not give me an explanation on why my car keeps shutting off. The problem happens without warning. Very dangerous while driving in a busy road, accident will happen is bound to happen. The last time i called the dealer they stated i probably put bad gas in the car???? What? S up with that? I don? T feel i should be making a car payment on a brand new car and have so many problems. I was better off with the junk that i had. At least i was safe while driving. *ak |
