Owner Complaints (2)
While driving on the freeway, your check engine light came on and the engine shut off without warning, forcing you to coast to the roadside. After stalling, the transmission wouldn't shift and the car had to be towed. The dealer suspects the issue may involve the battery, battery cables, and shifter mechanism, and quoted $1,600 for repairs, though they haven't definitively identified the root cause.
