Owner Narrative
WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED, BACK IN FEBRUARY. OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS THE VEHICLE HAD SPORADICALLY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE ENGINE COMPLETELY STOPS WHILE MOVING. SOME TIMES IT TAKES MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO TURN IT BACK ON AFTER SHUTTING DOWN AND OTHER TIMES IT WILL TURN BACK ON. WE HAVE ALREADY HAD THE CAR LOOKED AT AND HAD SOME RECALL WORK DONE TO IT, BUT THIS KEEPS HAPPENING EVEN SO. IT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY WHILE GOING 40 MPH, 2 SECONDS BEFORE THE CAR STALLED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN THE CAR STOPPED WHILE DRIVING. THANKFULLY THE PERSON BEHIND ME WAS NOT FOLLOWING TOO CLOSE BECAUSE THEY ALMOST HIT ME WHEN THE CAR STOPPED MOVING. I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET WITH MODERATE TRAFFIC AROUND ME, SO I AM LUCKY THAT NO ONE HIT ME WHEN THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND PUT MY HAZARDS ON, WHILE WAITING TO RESTART THE CAR. THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AND I AM SURE THIS WON'T BE THE LAST.
