| 2002 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE | I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO TURN RIGHT ONTO THE ON RAMP OF THE HIGHWAY WHEN MAKING THE RIGHT HAND TURN AND PRESSING ON THE BRAKE THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF. I LOST POWER STEERING AND BRAKE POWER. AFTER I USED TO EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR, I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND CONTINUE ON. THE NEXT TIME I DROVE THE CAR, IT MYSTERIOUSLY OVERHEATED. I TOOK THE CAR IN AND EXPLAINED THE SUDDEN ENGINE STOPE AND THE OVERHEATING...AND THE DEALER ONLY ADDRESSED THE OVER HEATING PROBLEM. NOTHING WAS SAID OR DISCUSSED ABOUT THE CAR JUST TURNING OFF FOR NO REASON. |
