What owners wrote
Driving home from work around 8:15pm. On wednesday, february 12th, 2014. I was making a left hand turn onto one of the streets the leads me to my home as I always do. As I am making the left turn I felt my steering wheel losing control as I am turning and the car shifting to the left of the road onto on coming traffic.
Car shuts off while driving check engine light comes on car will bot drive ofer 20 MPH. It is very dangerous to just shut down. Seen many issues with the dame thing and it is being said it is tipm. They dealer has said they go bad repeatedly due to corrosion because of a bad design. It is crazy having to pay 2000+ dollars to replace the same part multiple times to be just shut down in the middle of a road or interstate while driving. Has happened 5 times so dat.
