| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Engine suddenly stopped running while on freeway, only good luck allowed me to get out of traffic. engine restarted 5 minutes, i continue driving, now only in the right hand lane. almost made it home, engine dies suddenly again, same 5 minute wait, engine starts and runs just fine. i am an engineer so i took off the kick panel to have access to the relay panel: the next time it suddenly stopped, i felt all relays on the panel, relay marked 109 was hot to my touch; i would estimate 130 degrees f or more. i replaced the relay and i find it has been redesigned. this is why i contact you.*ak |
