“I was driving east on I-90 near bozeman, mt at about 70mph when a warning appeared on my dash telling me to pull over to a safe location immediately. There was an off ramp about 1/4 mile ahead and I began to slow down to take the off ramp when the engine shut down completely and luckily, I was able to bring it to a stop barely on the off ramp within only a few feet of the interstate highway. The engine would not start, so I contacted a towing service and waited for their arrival. They were not due to arrive for about 1.5 hours and it was getting late in the afternoon. …”

A customary use of this vehicle is to tow a trailer often with heavy machinery. Thankfully on this day there was no trailer attached. This situation warrants an immediate recall. If I had been traveling down an incline or on anything less than a straight road. …”
