Car shuts down while driving it. Have been back and forth to the dealership where car was purchased since the summer. Car was in the shop a month ago and I was told that it was the relay switch to the starter. Car has not been fixed properly because on 11/07/03 car shut down 3 times and a few more times over the weekend. Car was taken back to the dealership on 11/10/03 service tech called and stated that it is the black box and that it will cost $1500 to get it fixed.
