WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WOULD SUDDENLY STALL. IT HAPPENED AT LOW SPEEDS UP TO SPEEDS NEAR 50MPH. EVERYTHING WOULD BE FINE, BUT THEN IT WAS LIKE THERE WAS A STUMBLE AND THE ENGINE WOULD SHIFT TO IDLE, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. THE ENGINE WOULD NOT CUT OUT, BUT WOULD ONLY IDLE. IF WE TURNED THE CAR OFF, WAITED A MINUTE, THEN RESTARTED THE CAR, IT WOULD DRIVE FINE (UNTIL THE PROBLEM REPEATED ITSELF AT ANOTHER RANDOM TIME). THE DEALER MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR. THEY FIRST CHANGED THE THROTTLE BODY, BUT THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN TO US WI…

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. DASH LIGHTS ALL LIGHT UP AS WELL AND SOMETIMES POWER IS RESTORED BUT THE ABILITY TO STEER THE CAR IS NOT. CAR IS OUTSIDE OF THE RECALL YET STILL HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE RECALL ISSU…
