“Car has shut off while driving last few weeks. It happened. As soon as I turned onto a road, going 20-30 MPH, it has happened while trying to merge onto the freeway. The car just stalls, says place in p to start and then dies. The gearshift and wheel lock up and you have to turn the car off and attempt to restart. Each time I had to try at least 3 times to get the car restarted. All lights come on dash, battery light included, but had battery checked and it is fine. Trying to restart, it doesn't want to turn over. …”

It'll work fine on flat roads and going uphill but when the car goes downhill and the speedometer increases past what I have the cruise control set on' the engine revs up, the rpms go up to 5 or 6 (sounds like it's going to explode!). I press the cruise control cancel button and it doesn't stop it, I even mash the brake pedal and it won't stop it! …”

“On 10/12/18 was driving down a busy highway just started going down a hill and my car lost power and my gear shifter starting blinking in neutral, brake pedal and gas pedal was stuck and push to start would not work for me to restart my car after a few tries I was able to get to turn off and took a couple tries to get it to turn back on. I was stalled and had cars dodging me and swerving in other lanes when they were topping the hill. I went to my dealership and they wasn't able to look at that day and told me they could probably get to it the next following week. …”
