THE VEHICLE MISSES OUT AND THEN DIES WHILE DRIVING. IT MAY MISS OUT DAYS BEFORE DIES OR THE SAME DAY OR NOT AT ALL. SPEED, WEATHER, AND HOW LONG IT HAS BEEN RUNNING HAVE NOT BEEN AN ISSUE. IT HAS EVEN DIED WHEN I HAD BEEN DIRVING FOR 2 HOURS AND WAS GOING 70 ON THE HIGHWAY. IT HAS BEEN IN 5 TIMES AND THEY SAY THEY CAN'T FIND ANY THING WRONGE BUT IT KEEPS DOING IT. THE DRIVER SEAT SLIPS FORWARD EVEN THOUGH THE TRACK HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE. BEFORE THE TRACK WAS REPLACED THE LAST TIME THE SEAT WAS FIXED YOU COULD JUST SET IN IT AND LEAN FORWARD AND IT WOULD TILT AND SLID. IT HAS BEEN IN 4 TIMES FOR THIS AMONG OTHER THINGS.*AK
