POST RE: FLEX DIED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THURS JUN 11, 2009 6:07 PM THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO MY MOM WHEN SHE WAS DRIVING HERS THROUGH A PARKING LOT, IT JUST STALLED OUT! SHE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE SAME DAY AND THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. THIS WAS ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND SINCE THEN IT HAS NOT HAPPENED AGAIN. I HOPE YOU HAVE BETTER LUCK WITH YOUR DEALER FINDING THE PROBLEM. !@#$%!!!!!!!! IT HAPPENED TO ME TODAY!!!!!!! I WAS ON MY WAY TO A MEETING THIS MORNING AND AS I WAS GOING INTO A CURVE THE CAR DIED!!! KAPUT! DEAD! NO BRAKES, NO POWER STEERING!!!! THANK GOD THERE WAS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC BECAUSE I WENT STRAIGHT INTO THE OTHER LANE. AND, THANK GOODNESS I HAD READ THIS POST A WHILE AGO SO I KNEW IMMEDIATELY WHAT HAD HAPPENED. I TWISTED THE STEERING WHEEL HARD TO THE RIGHT AND ROLLED THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE STREET. PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTARTED IT. IT STARTED LIKE NOTHING. I CALLED MY SA WHO OBVIOUSLY SUGGESTED I BRING THE CAR OVER RIGHT AWAY, WHICH I DID. I ALSO TOLD HIM ABOUT THIS POST AND RICHMONDFLEX'S NOTE ON THE TSB (THANKS BUD!). SINCE I HAD TO LEAVE THE CAR, I'M ALSO HAVING THEM LOOK AT THE BRAKE PROBLEM, WHICH IS BACK. THAT WAS A SCARY MOMENT THIS MORNING!!!! POST RE: FLEX DIED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD FRI JUN 12, 2009 3:23 PM IN ANOTHER POST I THOUGHT OUR STEERING LOCKED UP, BUT AFTER TALKING TO MY WIFE, THE SAME STALL HAPPENED TO US (LONG STORY ON THE ACTUAL EVENT). TOTALLY FREAKED HER OUT TO THE POINT SHE WOULDN'T DRIVE THE CAR. I LOOKED UP ON LINE TO SEE IF THE CAR HAD ANY TSBS AND IT STATED WE DIDN'T. I STILL TOOK IT TO THE DEALER (NOT THE ONE WE BOUGHT IT FROM) AND HAD THEM LOOK IT UP AND LO AND BEHOLD THERE IT WAS. THEY SAY THE ISSUE OCCURS AT LESS THAN 10 MPH. THEY REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER (IT TOOK 45 MINUTES) AND SAID I SHOULD BE GOOD TO GO. FOR THOSE THAT JUST HAD IT HAPPEN OR HAVE YET TO HAVE IT HAPPEN, GO TO YOUR DEALER, IF NOTHING ELSE FOR THE PEACE OF MIND. MY CAR HAS 2K MILES ON IT. *TR
