My car shut down while i was driving. I have been having problems with the check engine light coming on.. I am afraid to drive it. I am having it towed to the dealership tomorrow. I am driving a rental. I will never buy another product from this company. I have been reading the complaints. Why have this suv not been recalled. Are they waiting for someone to be killed before they do this?
