    Unhappy Has anyone ever had this happen to them? Motor cutting out at speed.

    I was coming home from my nephews hockey game, doing about 70mph, and the motor just quit. I've had it to the dealer once because it did this before, as I was coming to a stop sign. But this was while cruising at highway speed. After pulling over, and putting vehicle into park, turning key to the off position, it started back up, and no further trouble the rest of the trip home. It will be going back to the dealer on Monday. I just was wondering if anyone else had this problem? Thanks Matt

    I remember reading some similar issues on the other forum. I can't remember if anyone ever posted back with a fix or what the problem ever was.

    Well I hope someone knows the cause. Going through Hartford CT at the intersection of I91 & I84, and stalling out is a scary experience!

    That's a weird one... and no codes?

    It seems like these vehicles have ignition switch issues, I wonder if yours is on the way out.

    I don't have a code reader. My neighbor does, I'm going to see if I can borrow it today.

    Make sure you look for "pending codes" as well. If your check engine light isn't on it doesn't mean there aren't any codes. The system stores codes until certain parameters are met, then either discards them if the condition doesn't repeat or makes them a hard code and turns on the check engine light.

    Depending on how many times you've driven the vehicle since the incident, the code may have been discarded already.

    It's always good to have a basic like this : Actron C9550
    Or something even easier on the wallet: Autel
