Going home from work, approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes from my job, and traveling at approximately 40-42 mph my engine just stopped....no sounds, no warning lights, nothing. Just tried to up my speed to go up a very small incline, and nothing...headlights still worked, no power steering, no brakes.......managed to pull over.........shaking like a leaf on a tree, because I am 65 years old, alone, no family to call, no one.....and this was a little after 9pm at night on Nov 2nd. Called my mobile mechanic the next day and he gave me this info to file a complaint. He said this is very serious. I was on buford hwy speed limit 45 mph going straight and approaching a red light on a very small incline.

I bought the car used at franklin sussex Dodge in franklin, NJ with 70000 miles and two days after I noticed these problems. I lose control at highway speeds when hitting bumps or on turns.the rear of car sways and feels like a rocking boat and I hold on for dear life.I have had it aligned and it uses up new tires at 20000 miles in rear on inside.there needs to be a recall before someone gets killed to correct rear suspension.
