On long trips vehicle shuts down and goes into limp mode. It has a very rough idle after restart when it allows you to go. The rims have massively lost large chunks of paint from them as well.It is never close to a dealership when it happens. This normally happens when you are running on the interstate and the vehicle dies in the middle of six lanes of heavy traffic. When this happens no warning lights nor messages appear on the dash. It just shuts down and you literally have to limp it off the road and let it set for a long period of time before it will restart. When it restarts it idles roughly for a long period of time.

While traveling on the Ohio and Pennsylvania turnpike the vehicle loses power and the ability to accelerate. Speed limit is 70 miles per hour in this zone loss of acceleration led to a abrupt stop going uphill. Pedal is fully push to the maximum acceleration point. This usually takes place when driving the vehicle for more than one hour. This issue has happened numerous times with the excess of 30 plus.
