ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL AND TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM LIGHTS STAY ON AND THEN THE CAR SHUTS DOWN, CAN'T BRAKE, THE CAR SHAKES, IT STALLS AND IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN (EACH TIME STARTING IN NOVEMBER) WHILE I AM DRIVING ON 476. I AM LUCKY EACH TIME TO MAKE IT TO PULL OVER AND THEN ALL THE SYSTEM FAILS. I AM ABLE TO START IT AGAIN AND THEN THE SAME THING HAPPENS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO AUTO ZONE, 2 MECHANICS AND NO ONE IS ABLE TO LOCATE ANYTHING ON THEIR DIAGNOSTICS. HIGHLAND MOTORS (WHERE WE PURCHASED THE CAR) NEVER TOLD US THAT THE CAR WAS RECALLED FOR ANY ISSUES, NEVER GAVE US ANY INFORMATION ON THE CAR, WE WERE JUST ALMOST KILLED A FEW TIMES AND DECIDED TO LOOK UP INFORMATION ON THE CAR AND FOUND WELL OVER 100,000 COMPLAINTS ONLINE FOR IT. *TR
