ANY TIME I LET MY FOOT OFF THE GAS THE CAR DASHBOARD LIGHTS DIM, THE RADIO LOSES VOLUME, AND THE HEADLIGHTS DIM. THIS IS ALL VERY NOTICABLE. RECENTLY THE CAR WOULD SOMETIMES FEEL AS THOUGH THE BRAKES HAD BEEN STOMPED ON. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I GET AND ABS SYSTEM FAILURE ALERT ON THE DASHBOARD AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON. A COUPLE OF TIMES THIS HAPPENED IT HAS COMPLETELY SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. BECAUSE IT TURNED OFF I DIDN'T HAVE POWER STEERING, SO I HAD TO PULL OVER AND RESTART MY ENGINE. THIS HAPPENS AS I'M DRIVING, I NOTICED IT HAPPENS WHEN IT SHIFTS DOWN GEARS. SOMETIMES WHEN I ACCELERATE AND THE CAR SHIFT GEARS UP IT CAN HAPPEN AS WELL. I FOUND A NOTICE ABOUT A RECALL ON THESE CARS FOR THE ABS MODULE SYSTEM ISSUE. RECALL #172.
