The vehicle has began stalling while driving and the power steering and power brakes do not work after the car stalls. This is an extreme safety hazard for my wife and kids who use this vehicle and have found it difficult to steer and stop while driving. The problem could not be replicated by a service center and no solution was found. This problem has been occurring since August 2021 (which is when we bought the vehicle).
