The car for no reason stalls and leaves no codes. It has been checked out at the dealers 2 times and a mechanic once, they both say they cant fix it if it isn't broken. The dealer said drive it until it fails for good, my problem with that is if it stalls in say the outer lane of the interstate going 70 mph and I have no power to get out of the way from a 70 mph semi what do I do then bodies all over the interstate and whos at fault then?
Car started on the evening of August 12th, driven approximately 17 miles, stopped for 10 mins, restarted & driven 5 more miles. I went to start it again after about a half hour, would turnover but would not start. Car towed by mechanic 8/13/2014. As of 9/26/14, car has been in mechanic's care & unable to fix. Car being towed back to me with no further information on how to fix it. Mechanic has had vehicle on 2 separate diagnostic machines. Mechanic informed me he thought it was the computer then flywheel then back to computer but unable to fix it & giving up trying. This car is in good shape with low miles on it, I'm at a loss as to what to do or how to get it fixed. It was with mechanic 6 weeks & now being returned as "unfixable".
I was stopped & just put it into drive from park & the car just took off. I put my foot on the brake but it didn't stop right away. The car is totaled. The vehicle did property damage.
