| The engine will die going down the road at any speed, which is a safty hazard. when engine dies... it is very hard too steer and looses braking power. the engine then may not restart for several min. takes several attempps to get going again. if a person had to get to a hospital on time it could make the differance between life or death. we feel this should be fixed by gm...free...and soon!!! thanks john & dawn | |||
