| The car at any speed will just suddenly die ... usually its when it is really warm outside......ive recently read a report about distributer -mounted tfi modules and i beleive ( since my mechanic can not find a problem ) that this could be the cause. its very scary when driving 55mph and the car suddenly dies and i have no power steering or brakes to stop the vehicle !!! i hope you will reconsider a recall on this situation | |||
