Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Since buying this car in 2002 it has stalled several times and been taken to the dealership as often without the issue being resolved. dealer stated that they could not find the problem (they cleaned the throttle body) and had another client's car that did the same thing and couldn't fix it either. we have used fuel injector cleaner, which worked for 6 months until now. this car is a lemon and is dangerous at intersections and on the highway when it stalls!! lemon law papers will be filed if not resolved very soon!!*jb
