What owners wrote
The engine shut down in the middle of an intersection in traffic, while in motion. The car refused to start up again, indicating a transmission failure. The car also refused to shut down, and the electronics are confused. This is the third incident that I had with this vehicle.
Trying to overtake slower car on two lane road at approximately 60MPH, car lost all power went into "limp mode" forced to find way off road on busy road. Using 93 octane gas, sunny day. Waited few minutes restarted vehicle. Extremely dangerous situation.
