I HAVE THREE OF THESE CARS AND IT DOES NOT HAPPEN JUST ON MINE. THE BEGINNING OF LAST YEAR I TOOK A ROAD TRIP AND ON THE HWY MY CAR WENT FORM 78 TO LESS THEN 40 ON THE FREEWAY. I HAD TO PULL OVER. THROUGOUT THE COURSE OF HAVING OUR CARS THE DEALERSHIP CALLED IT VAPOR LOCK. YOU HAVE TO PULL OVER AND LET YOU CAR REST? ON 08/01/2015 I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND IS ONLY A 35 MINUTE DRIVE MY CAR LOST ALL POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF A INTERSECTION I WAS ALMOST HIT BY ANOTHER CAR BUT THEY WERE ABLE TO SWERVE AND MISS MY CAR. IT IS STARTING TO LOSE POWER MORE AND MORE AND IN SHORTER DISTANCES TRAVELED. AS I STATED WE OWN THREE OF THEM AND IT HAPPENS IN ALL THREE. WE HAVE TO RENT A CAR WHEN DRIVING TO CA. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO.

ELECTRIC LOCKS CONTINUE TO CYCLE ON AND OFF, NOT IN COMPLETE MOVEMENT OR CIRCUIT ON AND OFF CYCLES, CAUSING UNDUE LOAD ON ALTERNATOR, AND CAUSING THE CAR TO STALL OUT, OCCASIONALLY EVEN AT A ZERO SPEED, OR IN REVERSE...UPDATED 10-26-15 *BF GIVEN THE POOR ELECTRICAL HISTORY OF THIS MODEL CAR, I FORMALLY REQUEST A RECALL IN REGARDS TO THIS SAFETY ISSUE, AS THE DOORS COULD LOCK OR UNLOCK AT ANY GIVEN TIME. FURTHERMORE, THE WIRING HARNESS FOR THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS, THAT WAS RECALLED BY NHSTA, HAS BEEN REPLACED PREVIOUS TO THIS INCIDENT. AND THE DAY OR TIME THAT THIS PROBLEM STARTED.
