Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The engine runs for about 10,000 miles before it begins to stall out at unexpected times.this problem has been diagnosed as a problem with the maf sensor . this sensor(mass air flow) has failed 3 times in less than a year in heavy traffic conditions. the vehicle simply shuts down and is hard to restart . this occurence has happened at all speeds and so far i have avoided an accident . i feel that it is a matter of time before the failure of the maf will cause a serious accident. *ak
