What owners wrote
I suffered an accident because while driving in a highway, I could not steer the wheel and the engine stop working. I wrote before because of what happened and have not received an answer. What can I do? Thank you
Was going home from work, about 20 MPH, car sputtered and stopped accelerating on ramp, engine and wrench light came on. This had happened before so I knew to turn the car off and back on to get my car to work again. But alas, I am driving at about 30 mpg for only 2 minutes and it happens again! I was again on another ramp, completely blocking traffic. Thank god I was not yet on I-95 going at a high speed, or even worse with my child in the car.
