What owners wrote
This has occurred twice. The first time, (9-6-2010), driving in bumper-to-bumper traffic on the freeway- the light, "stop safely now" comes on and you cannot use the gas pedal and you have to try to get to the shoulder safely as the car has no power. I waited for half an hour and restarted the car and was able to get to where I had to go. Took it to dealer and they couldn't find anything wrong with it.
At ~ 10:10pm traveling at 68-70 MPH in fast, moderate freeway traffic in the #3 n/b lane of I-5 in silverlake area, ~ -mi south of the interchange with the sr-2 freeway (~ @ riverside dr. Over-crossing) . Suddenly / with no warming, engine lost all power & shut down and I heard a `screeching' warning tone, saw the red triangle of doom warning symbol appear in the upper/right of the instrument panel, the tachometer dropped to `zero'' and the `too-little-too-late' warning text stop now' text appeared at the bottom…
