While traveling at high speeds, the engine breifly shuts down and then restarts. When traveleing at low speeds the engine stalls completely resulting in the loss of power assist for steering and braking. In both cases the service engine light illuminates. The problem is intermittent but occurs on a regular basis.

Engine cuts off while driving. It has happenned numerous times. I've had it to the dealer twice for this. They say they cannot find the problem and nothing has been done to fix this. Also, at times, there is a momentary loss of power to the wheels while pressing the accelerator. Dealer cannot find this problem either. Mileage at first failure, date of first failure and failure speed are approximate.
