“I was driving the vehicle, made a u turn and suddenly all lights on the dashboard went off and the vehicle started to turn on and off with no key in the ignition and caught fire. I had parked the vehicle on the side road on a city street.”
NHTSA complaint #11098387, filed 2018-05, 10 miles“Intermittent loss of power while driving. Loss of steering capability as well. The loss is sudden and causes the driver to lose control of the vehicle as steering becomes extremely difficult. This is dangerous. I almost ran off the road once and hit a median on another occasion. Its like a time bomb, you never know when you will lose the ability to steer the car.
