ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
ENGINE STOPS RUNNING AND HAS TO BE RESTARTED. IT HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 6 TIMES OVER 22 MONTHS AND HAD IT TO THE DEALER 4 TIMES. THEY HAVE TRIED SEVERAL THINGS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM BUT TO NO AVAIL. ONE TIME I WAS GOING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AND THE ONLY WAY I NOTICED THE PROBLEM WAS THAT THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING DID NOT WORK DUE TO THE ENGINE FAILURE.
