It happened a couple more times and as we were passing a rest area outside of orangeburg, sc in the left lane going with the flow of…

The vehicle shuts down without any warning while driving. Extremely dangerous!! It's the second time it happened in the last 6 years, and it seems to happen when it is cold outside. (in freezing temperature). Luckily, no one was around when the problems occurred, but if it had happened in a crowded area, an accident is imminent. Exactly the same symptom as what was reported under nhtsa id number: 10555411 (this is a…
