1 Ignition Module problem

Failure Date: 11/17/2005

Sudden loss of power steering and power brakes due to engine stalling. Engine stalls while driving. Event has occurred six times now. Once right after I purchased the vehicle and then again at 7642, 9861, 11487, 11898 and 12,009 miles. I lost control of the vehicle during one event as the power loss occurred while I was turning a sharp corner. I went into the other lane of traffic but due to light traffic at the time this did not result in a crash. The local dealer says that they are aware of this problem but the factory hasn't provided a solution. I feel that it is only a matter of time before people are injured by this defect as the sudden loss of power steering can easily cause loss of control.
