“I purchased this car 2 months ago. Today my wife when out with my 14 and 4 years old daughters and the car lost power and shut down while driving at around 60 MPH in the highway. Thankfully they are ok. But the car had to be towed. It starts but dies within seconds no idea what the problem is but I found that lots of people have had the same problem.”
