| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: On 10/26/2000, the mass air flow sensor was replaced due to the check engine light coming up and difficulty in starting the vehicle. after the replacement, these problems were solved. however, a new problem appeared. the vehicle stalled without any warning. it happened twice within a 24-hour period. in both incidents, it happened on a slow left turn after exiting an interstate highway. at the same time, the power steering was disabled. this created a major safety hazard since i had minimal control of the vehicle. in fact, i almost hit a lamppost. i contacted the dealer, but they could not identify the cause yet. in fact, they could not even reproduce the problem. i have a feeling that this is due to a defective mass air flow sensor, but the dealer does not agree. the dealer said that they are going to install a flight recorder on the vehicle to further investigate the cause of the problem. |
