I have a question as I've had a scary and unexpected experience with my 70D. It twice shut down the front engine while driving on the freeway- it also turned off steering assist and a slew of other features. It was scary as it dramatically lost power at 65mph ( and I had my 6 year old in the backseat).
With a tech on the phone I did a hard reboot and it seemed fine for about 4 days- until it shut down at speed on the freeway again (and again with my kid in the back). Not wanting to go through that unsafe situation ever again- I had it towed to a service center.
It has now been in the service center for 3 weeks. After 2 weeks they've got it to re- fault but still haven't solved it.
My question is has anyone else had this issue? the service center assured me it was a first.
Also, I'm not sure how safe I feel driving this particular car- if the issue is so hard to diagnose and repair.
It's a tough position, my car is 2 months old- I loved it and was preaching the word- until it went into power/ steering control free mode...
