Vehicle was driving at 55-60mph, immediately lost all power and rough engine shake on the highway. Managed to pull off to the side. Opened the hood to find the catalytic converters both smoking and glowing red from excess fuel being dumped into them due to a very common and well known bad grounding issue. Worried they would cause a fire I evacuated my family and call a tow truck. After having the car examined the Fx35 has destroyed all 6 ignition coils which was causing gas to be dumped into the catalytic converters. It also destroyed both catalytic converters and possibly the computer, the car is still being looked at. Had we not stopped I fear the car would have started a fire from the excess fuel and burning/melting of the catalytic converters. Not to mention is was very dangerous to have the car lose all power on the highway. This is a very commonly known problem and very unacceptable to have an issue known like this not be fixed by a simple grounding wire issue.
I was driving down i20 during afternoon atlanta traffic when all of the sudden the car started riding like a truck and then lost all power. The check engine and vdc lights came on then the car completely shut down on the interstate. I had to navigate 3 lanes of traffic with no power to pull off on the shoulder. The auto repair shop said that the car is badly misfiring on 3 cylinders and in order to fully investigate, the electrical grounds need to be replaced and maybe some other electrical components. This is a five year old, well maintained car, with only 90k miles. I wouldn't expect to have major electrical problems that result in having to navigate rush hour traffic with no power.
