| Driving down road city street (25 mph speed limit) on way home. not raining outside. temperature was about 85 degrees. very high humidity. as approached intersection the vehicle suddenly shut itself off. complete loss of power, power steering, and power breaking. wife had trouble pulling over, but because were only going 20 mph at that point, we managed to pull over and stop car. we were only 2 blocks from home, so we restarted engine (which turned on without trouble) and drove home slowly (now with the check-engine light on). dangerous situation, as it is incredibly difficult to control the vehicle without power steering or breaking. if we had taken the interstate home instead of the way we went, we could have been driving at 70 mph onto an off ramp when it shut off. very dangerous indeed. | |||
