| Was driving on the freeway, traveling at 70 mph and all of the lights both dash and exterior went out and the engine stopped. pulled to the side of the highway and tried to restart the car, no luck. waited for 30 minutes and tried to restart it and it started up, but when i got up to 40mph, it repeated what it did before, pulled to the side of the road and waited another 15 minutes and it started again, and it did it again. again i pulled to the side of the road and waited, then it started, and i finally got it to an exit off of the highway. it would only run at 25mph, anything above that it would repeat the same symptoms as above. the next day after leaving the car sit overnight, it started just fine, ran just fine, except the engine light came on. took it to the dealership, and they reset the computer, the code read that it was running to lean, they checked, but could not find any problems. the car will not run above 70mph, this has happened three times since the first incident. the only repairs that were done, were the recalls already on file for this vehicle. | |||

| I purchased the car in october 2003 and the car was great. in march 2006 i started having problems where the car when attempted to start would take a few seconds extra and then start, then 6 months later i was driving down the street and the car just cut off in the middle of an intersection. the car restarted about 10 minutes later. then in november this started happening more an more frequently. one night in december the car cut off and would not restart at all. i was able to pull of the road. i waited an hour and still the car would not start. i came back the next day and the car would not start. i got the car towed to a mechanic who said that he thought it was the fuel pump so i replaced that and the car worked for 2 days and then the same problem again. he then tested the car and saw there was no power going to the fuel pump. i had him do a temporary fix and run a line from the battery to the fuel pump so the car would still start. then everything else slowly started to fail. the air bag light would come on intermittently and now stays on. one low beam headlight went out and then the other followed by my high beam totally. my front left turn signal went then the rear right followed by the front right. my horn no longer works. i don't know if my airbags would deploy if i was in an accident. the windshield wiper recently stopped working as well. *jb | |||
