My wife was traveling south on the florida turnpike @ 70 mph near west palm beach. Our 7 year old granddaughter was in the back seat. The engine suddenly seized up and shut off. She barely had enough momentum to pull safely out of the traffic, but was unable to get all the way out of harms way. Could have been a disaster!!!!! The engine cannot be repaired.
