What owners wrote
While driving my gt350 on a highway at around 55 MPH the engine made metallic grinding noises suddenly, and without warning. I instinctively pressed in the clutch pedal and then engine stopped spinning and locked up. I was fortunate to be in an area with a pull-off area and thin traffic. It could have been very dangerous at higher speeds, in thicker traffic, or with a less experienced driver. Once stopped, I checked the car and confirmed that the starter could not spin the motor due to mechanical failure.
Riding under normal driving conditions, car stalls from a v8 to a v2. No power at all, if you want to switch from normal, to any selectable driving modes from toggle switch or steering wheel, wont change. Turn of car, turn it back on and continued with same problem.
