problem #2

Jun 022014

Optima LX 4 cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 100,000 miles

So in the past, the engine has only died when first started going over speed bumps. Today the engine was warm and I was making a sharp u-turn and it died! A car came up fast and almost hit me!

Why does no one know what's wrong?

Update on June 18, 2014: I took it to a repair shop and they can't find a problem. Car didn't do it while they had it-of course!
