“I was driving and the engine shut off causing me to lose control of my vehicle as the power steering shut down. I was able to steer my vehicle with difficulty to the side of the road where it stopped. About one week later this happened again. This time I was coming out of a parking lot and had to aim my vehicle in a way to avoid hitting other vehicles. Both time, after a few minutes the car started right up and I was able to drive again. Last friday, may 3, I pulled my vehicle over and when I stopped the vehicle shut down. This time it did not restart. …”
