What owners wrote
Normal driving, pulling up to a stop sign to make a right hand turn and the engine just stalls while still moving. Power steering goes out and the check engine light came on. Had to restart the car before driving off. After restarting the car, no issues and no warning lights. This has happened two times.
I was driving on the interstate at approximately 65MPH when a small pop was heard from the engine bay. The engine immediately stopped functioning and I lost all power to the vehicle. I was able to safely stop the vehicle on the shoulder of the interstate without incident. I tried restarting the engine, which just caused the starter to run for 5+ seconds before turning off the start sequence (push button start).
