SRX 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 416 miles
The car dies after traveling on highway. It goes from 65 mph to 0. the brakes, steering, and complete power dies. You have no control over the car at this point. I have almost been hit 5 times now. Also, when the cars does turn back on it will only go 10 mph and sometimes when you turn it back on the RPM's will go to the max. It sounds like the car is going to explode. This car is a death trap.
