I understand that there was a recall for this vehicle that claims to be repaired- the ignition turning off while driving. This happened a few minutes ago while driving 65+ on the freeway and we were almost hit by an 18 wheeler because of it. Zero power whatsoever. I was able to put it in neutral and turn the key a few times and restart it. Afterwards, the check engine, stability control, tire pressure, seatbelt lights are all on, cruise control is flashing (I don't use cruise). I don't know how the included picture helps. I feel like this issue was either absolutely not addressed, or if it was, the repair has definitely failed. Either way, I need to know what I should do because this is my only vehicle, my kids have to ride in it and I can't trust it not to kill everyone now.
