| Description of the problem | Engine shut off while driving on interstate at 70 mph. No warning or engine sputtering. Plenty of fuel. Foggy weather and 37degrees f. Dash lights stayed on same as if it was in the on position. After 1 1/2 hours vehicle restarted and hasn't shut down while driving since. Took in to the dealer and they said battery was weak and replaced that. They said other engine codes pointed to power supply. I have never heard of a vehicle quitting while driving because of a weak battery so am suspicious about this as a good repair. This is potentially a very dangerous problem. |
