| While driving at any speed the vehicle will shut down without prior warning. dealer installed a black box, and the consumer stated that in cold weather can't put gas into the gas tank due to the cover and cap freezing up. also, windshield wipers don't work. the button for the high and low works but nothing else. when vehicle stalls all electrical power is lost including brakes and steering. vehicle is back in shop, and the dealer can't determine the problem. *ak | |||
