Please help.”
NHTSA complaint #10324396, filed 2010-04, 84,414 miles“Our vehicle died at a turn signal light in a dangerous intersection. No warning from the vehicle as it was running normal. It would turn over but no start. Police force a tow out of the busy intersection right away. It starts up at the mechanics. They tested fuel filter and other stuff. We get on the highway in traffic and get 6 miles out and no warning we die and had to push the car to the shoulder on in dangerous conditions. Sit for 2 hours and it fires up. So we found shade and waited for cool down. 2 hours away from home and it took us 9 hours to get home. …”
