ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION, STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:POWER ASSIST
PROBLEM HAS BEEN ON GOING FOR 2.5 MONTHS. DEALER HAS HAD CAR FOR OVER A MONTH AND HAS BEEN UNABLE TO DIAGNOS OR CURE THE PROBLEM. I'VE SPENT HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON FIXES THAT THEY HAVE RECOMMENDED. NONE HAVE WORKED AND THEIR CORPORATE HAS NOT GIVEN ME ANY SUPPORT IN THIS MATTER. WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURS THE CAR'S ENGINE SHUTS OFF WITH NO WARNING. POWER STEERING AND BRAKES GO OUT RENDERING THE VEHICLE A HAZARD TO MYSELF AND ALL OTHER DRIVERS AROUND MY ON BUSY HWYS. IF THERE IS ANY ASSISTANCE THAT YOUR ORGANIZATION CAN PROVIDE ME I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT! TKS FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION.
