NHTSA complaint #10839602, filed 2016-03, 100,000 miles“Car has stopped while I was driving in a city street about 35 miles speed limit without warning. What worries me is that my 3 year old rides with me. I don't want it to cause an accident since I'm going the speed limit then all of a sudden it just shuts off causing me to stop at a halt. I haven't seen or received any recall about this that's why I'm reporting it. If you can please look into this everyone affected would appreciate it. I saw an online thread about similar complains. 2 lights also come on on the dash.”
