problem #1

Feb 172006

Civic 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 27,725 miles
At 1:30 pm pst on 17 February 2006, I was driving at approx. 70 mph on California state route 73 northbound, a freeway. The car was in drive and operating normally. I used the right turn signal to change lanes, but as I pushed the lever, another car already in the lane honked at me and I was upset. Then suddenly, without the key moving, the car spontaneously shut itself completely off. The console went dark, and then engine first went from drive to neutral, and then ground to a halt, spontaneously. The key didn't move.
