| First time it occurred i was traveling to work the car stalled while driving approx. 20 mph and there was no control of the car - was able to move to side of road and restart. fault on the console was electronic throttle. has happen approx 4 more times at various speeds and conditions with three different drivers. no problem ever found by dealer. has happened at high speed on the freeway complete loss of steering and power occurs more concerning it can happen at any time without warning. i find this to be extremely dangerous and a death trap waiting to happen. the last time it occurred when by teenage daughter was driving she was scared to death refusing to drive it home. this reminded me of toyota prius so i took it upon myself to report my incidents. looking at the internet i now find it occurs frequently and it is not an isolated case. *tr | |||

| While traveling 50 mph on busy street car power failed, shutting off completely including loss of power steering. engine failure light came on. restarted after that and drove fine. since then it has occurred 3 times over last month. last week occurred at when i was attempting to turn with a turn signal but shut off before i could make the turn. this is a life threatening problem and needs to be recalled. thought it had to do with low gas tank but had plenty of gas last week. | |||

| While driving on us 95 north the vehicle all of the sudden stalled. this has happened twice before while driving at speeds of 60 and greater on busy interstates. the engine just stops and the car must coast to the side of the road and sit for a few minutes and then it will start again and run fine for at least a week or two. recently this has been happening every couple of months. the first incident was in jan of 2010 on a trip from missouri to virginia. now that we live in virginia, near dc this is something that we find very dangerous especially with four children in the car. | |||
