ENGINE, STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AT A STOP LIGHT THE CAR SHUT COMPLETELY OFF WHERE MY STEERING WENT OUT, THE KEY WAS LOCKED IN THE IGNITION AND I HAD TO GET SOMEONE TO HELP PUSH THE CAR INTO A PARKING LOT FOR SAFETY. THE CAR HAS BEEN JERKING, WILL NOT PICK UP SPEED AND IF SITTING AT A STOPLIGHT TOO LONG, THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF. WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE, THE CAR EITHER JERKS OR SHUTS OFF BUT THEN STARTS BACK UP. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE CAR SHUTS COMPLETELY OFF WHEN DRIVING. THE STEERING WHEEL STARTS TO LOCK IN DIFFERENT PLACES AS YOU TURN. ALL ELECTRONICS SHUT OFF AND SOMETIMES CANNOT BE RESTARTED FOR DAYS. YOU CAN BE SITTING IN PARK AND TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AND IT WILL STILL LOCK UP. NOT AT THE STOPPING POINT OF THE STEERING. EVEN IF YOU TRY. A LITTLE. I ALSO HAVE A VIDEO OF IT HAPPENING IT WILL NOT LET YOU TURN IT AT ALL. UNLOCK LOSING POWER STEERING MAKES IT HARDER TO TURN BUT STILL POSSIBLE. WITH THIS IT STOPS COMPLETELY LIKE THE CAR IS SHUT OFF. WHEN YOU SWITCH YOUR TURN SIGNAL ON AND THEN TURN ALL ELECTRONICS AND CAR SHUTS OFF UNTIL YOU TURN THE SIGNAL OFF OR LET GO OUT THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE ALMOST WRECKED 4 TIMES WITH KIDS IN THE CAR. I HAVE PERSONALLY READ OTHER PEOPLE. NOT JUST A FEW BUT AT LEAST 200 OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. CURRENTLY LOOKING INTO LEGAL ACTION AGAINST THIS BEFORE SOMEONE DIES IN A WRECK BECAUSE NOBODY WANTS TO ISSUE A RECALL. *TR
