Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: This truck (auto, 6 cyl, 2wd) sometimes stalls, but only when coming to a stop, always in motion, never at idle, just as if the key were turned off. occurs very intermittently (7 times since sept 2003)... mechanic informed me that nothing has registered on the computer. interstate battery is 8 months old. every other time, i've put it in park and it starts right up, but this morning it wouldn't start for almost two minutes in a busy intersection. a friend also has 1998 4runner; says it's been happening to her over two years, but less often. this is very dangerous. this can't be a coincidence, and it can't just be the two of us. i spoke with toyota today, but mine is the only complaint they have about this.
