Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Over the last month my car has stalled out over ten times, usually during heavy traffic. i have taken it to the dealer three times but they have not been able to duplicate or fix the problem. according to them the engine light needs to be on; once it stalled and the light came on, i immediately drove it to the dealer but the technicians said it was not on when they restarted the car. the car also runs rough and feels like it loses power intermittently. i have lost all confidence in the car and worry about where and when it may stall out. the service people have been very helpful and respectful but the problem has become so bad i may need to file lemon law papers. *jb
