What owners wrote
I was driving my car on freeway at 65 MPH and suddenly car displayed warning on dash board to shift the car in park position. Car immediately lost power from engine. I had to immediately pull over car from left most lane to buffer lane between freeway and exit. My move until it had momentum. But them it stopped on freeway. After stopping car, it did not start or stop engine. It displayed check engine light. While restarting car, it keep displaying "initializing" and immediately system reboot by itself.
