| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 3 times while traveling 55 to 60 mph the engine stalled while in traffic. each time i put the transmission into neutral and unsuccesfully attempted a rolling restart. upon getting the vehicle to a stop at the shoulder of the road i put the transmission in park and was able to complete a successful restart and resume normal driving. the loss of accelerator control and power steering while in traffic is a disconcerting experience. i was not going to report it, however i found myself doing some research on your website where i found that this same problem occurred to someone else. upon finding that my experience was not isolated i felt that it should be reported to you. this is a well taken care of automobile driven only seven months of the year and stored for 5 months. each time this occurred the weather was warm. *ak |
