The contact has spoke with both the manufacturer and the dealer. Both stated that they can not resolve the problem until the problem can be duplicated. The dealer did inspect the vehicle and they did not find anything wrong with the vehicle's computer. The last time the problem happened was last week and still had not been repaired. The contact stated that he has to keep restarting the vehicle multiple times because the engine and the dashboard lights keep shutting off, which prevents him from driving at night.
