I pulled over to the shoulder and turned the ignition off and restarted it and continued to my destination. This has occurred several times over the last few years, and it is only getting worse and more frequent. Sometimes the limp home light (wrench) comes on.

I checked the codes and it did say it was a forced shut down. I unfortunately do not remember the code number.
Consumer states of having problems with a pretty strong gas smell on the vehicle. Dealer was contacted. Mr.
