“Driving down the road on cruise control set at 80 miles an hr, the car shut off then tried to restart itself. The dealer in jacksonville florida could not determine what caused this to happen. Upon inspection it was determined that all of the exhaust valves were damaged. They are repairing this but cannot determine the cause. This is a big concern for me.”
