What owners wrote
Leaving work I noticed my radio suddenly turned off, display showed power saver mode. I contacted my husband by cell phone and he advised me to stop driving it because there had been reports of fires, crashes and loss of control. I was turning on to my street and I lost control of steering, brakes, and all power in the car. I was coasting to park and noticed that there was smoke coming out from under the hood. My husband came down to look at the vehicle and could not turn vehicle on at all.
Vehicle's ABS and traction control warning lights came on, battery saver mode turned on then off again, radio display screen shut off, rpm's spiked, dash display screen turned white then all power to vehicle shut off.
