What owners wrote
My car just stops running in the middle of driving. The first time I was on my way to work in rush hour on a very busy highway and the wrench on the dashboard comes on my car just stops accelerating and I am able to get over to the shoulder without being hit. The car starts back up and does it again down the street. Happened three times on my way to work.
