| Description of the problem | The car intermittently dies, sometimes when hitting a bump. Traction control lights up, engine shuts down, and of course, power steering gone. This has been happening for 3-4 months. Most recently, the lightning bolt safety light lit up, which relates to a electric throttle control light, or etc. That disappeared, then the check engine light lit up. That also disappeared. The ignition key inadvertently moves into the off or accessory position, the engine will turn off, which will then depower various key safety systems including, but not limited to, air bags, power steering, and power braking. Loss of functionality of these systems may increase the risk of crash and/or increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash. Electrical system |
