“The first time; the vehicle suddenly stopped running, had no brakes or power steering and my wife was barely able to safely coast to the side of the road. After catching our breath, it restarted on the second try. The next time it completely shut down I was driving and we were in traffic traveling about 65 MPH, I quickly placed the shifter in neutral and tried the key and luckily it restarted. The next time the vehicle randomly shut down we were almost hit from behind and then nearly sideswiped while trying to escape the traffic, and we waited nearly half an hour for the vehicle to restart. …”
