Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Driving in traffic, made right turn into driveway at 30 mph and the engine died, steering was now unassisted. i rolled the car into a parking spot. the car started upon my return to the car. this has happened at least 6 other times since i've owned the vehicle. the car has less than 60, 000 miles and has amassed numerous repair issues: failure of automatic transmission; rear wheel bearing replacement; defective side mirror that screams at high speeds/freeway driving w/windy conditions; sun visors which do not adhere to placement; and windshield washer pump failure. upon acquiring the vehicle this was the first problem i took the car in for repair. and on subsequent visits, it has been an issue, but the problem persists. *nm
