THE VEHICLE WILL FAIL TO START INITIALLY. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS THE VEHICLE WILL START AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL APPEAR. ALSO SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WILL CUT OUT AND THE DASH WILL GO BLANK AND HAVE ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED, I.E. ABS, AIRBAGS, ESC, TPMS, ENGINE MIL, AND SERVICE AWD. THE WIPERS WILL TURN ON BY THEMSELVES AND THE BLINKERS OR HAZARD LIGHTS WONT WORK. THIS IS CONCERNING DUE TO THE LACK OF AVAILABILITY TO WARN OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. *TR

I WAS SLOWING DOWN AND TURNING RIGHT INTO MY DRIVEWAY WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED. I WAS GOING 8 MPH WHEN I NOTICED I HAD NO POWER STEERING AND THE RPMS WERE AT 0. MY ENGINE STALLED FOR NO REASON.
