June 2005 CrashInjury

Driving down the side street and my car goes into limp mode. Reads etc .start up will move about 1/4 of the block and does it again. Had to keep turning it off and on to get home.once stop in the middle of the intersection. From what I have seen this is not unusual for ls. This is a safety concern. Have not got my car fix because it is very expensive to fix.
