| Description of the problem | After exiting the freeway, i was driving in stop and go traffic and the engine cut out without warning. I was unable to change lanes due to lack of power and power steering, so i tried to re-start the engine while coasting in the fast lane. The hud indicated that i had to put the car in park, so i stopped the car in the fast lane in order to do so. The engine started and i was able to drive away. The car was 6 weeks old at the time, and had about 1100 miles on the odometer. |
