My car just shut off in the middle of exceleration. . . . . . . . . This happen to me 2x. . . Once to oncoming traffic!!! and the other just before a blue line train . . . Dealership takes this very lightly. I guess someone has to die first. . It is in the shop right now. I have so many issues that I don't think I should be having or had when new too. . I also noticed that where my airbag on my steering wheel . Is looks like it is separating. . . Not sure but it is not flush. . . . I'm afraid to ask about that since all it does is cost me$$$$$$$ also I had brakes fixed that weren't that bad because of noise but the noise is still there not all the time but more frequent and it sounds like its from some part of clutch part not the brakes. . . . . New brakes didn't fix anything. . I am fixing this car more than what I am writing about. The 1st month I bought it I had to return for a bolt was coming loose on my steering column. . . Found out it was a recall. I need to talk to someone for work that was done to my car that later I found was not my work order or my VIN #. Or my mileage. . . After I paid for half the work since my car wasn't brought in for any of that stuff. . Only a stability light to be checked. . . Which after 11months when I took it back again. . . Found that was never taken care of. . Thats why it would come off and on . . . I was just tired of being taken. . . Thats how I felt. . Being that I am a women. . . . . . . .
I have had my car stop running several times during the time I have owned it. . . It has always been at a stop light. The car just shuts off. I have to restart it again. It does it on occasion , sometimes months apart. I am just hoping that it will never shut off like that while driving down the highway.
While driving turning left onto an expressway entrance my engine shut down I believe it was the ignition switch. Ive taken the vehicle to the dealer numerous times and they can't seem to find a solution. I am in fear that one day this car will lose power at the wrong time and cause a serious if not fatal accident. I would like the problem fixed or a reimbursement to invest in a new vehicle before it is too late.
