Driving on the highway, all of the warning lights came on, the fuel gauge dropped to empty, the RPM gauge dropped to zero, the thermostat needle rapidly flickered up and down then the car shut off. The vehicle won't start, the instrument gauges move by themselves with no key in the ignition and now the car has zero power. . This car has been doing this for the past 3 months.

The car will turn over but wont start. It's not getting spark. Ran it to test codes. Came back as tps. Changed it and it all won't start. Was told possibly a recall on the ignition.

It just started after the security got lock and had to be over drive. When you drive you can feel the car idle bad when you have to stop for a light or stop sign or if you have to stop to turn and you get below 1 mga turns off. Yesterday it did this and turn off and all it would do is just turns but doesn't start. In the middle of the road. It sounds to me like it's not get fuel or air where it needs to be. You can drive the speed limit and watch the mga, I think, 1,2,3, ildel down a little. Started end of sept or no troubler

I believe it's the security system or something to do with the ignition. I'm not able to start my, all the lights on dash board come on n AC kicks on but the car won't start. When it was the only lights on was the service engine soon, trac off, security light & tire pressure light.
