I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 8:30 PM WHEN MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE POWER AND STALLING, IT FINALLY SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY IN THE FAST LANE. I FRANTICALLY TRIED RESTART FINALLY IT DID I WAS THEN ONLY ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE IN THE SMALL SPACE BETWEEN THE ON RAMP AND THE SLOW LANE OF FREEWAY. THE TRAFFIC WAS HEAVY AND I ALMOST GET HIT BY A VEHICLE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO GET TO A SAFE PLACE. WHERE THE INCIDENT OCCURRED THE ARE CONCRETE BARRIERS DUE TO THE EXPANSION WORK BEING DONE ON HIGHWAY 4 WEST BOUND. PITTSBURGH CALIFORNIA. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW ON FEB 23, 2006, IT HAS HAD NUMEROUS MECHANICAL DEFECTS FROM DAY ONE. IN THE LAST 2 YEARS I HAVE SPENT OVER $ FOR REPAIRS AND LAST MONTH I BROUGHT TO THE DEALER FOR THESE PROBLEMS AND THEY ADVISED ME THAT THE VEHICLE HAD MORE REPAIRS THAT IT NEEDED COSTING $2500.00. I AM AT MY WITS END. I AM NOT WORKING ON DISABILITY. ON THE FOLLOWING DAY THE CAR DID IT AGAIN. *TR
