Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: When making a turn from a stop position, the car stalls. this also happens when going forward into traffic. i have reported this to the dealer on several occasions but they were unable to solve the problem. i feel this is a very dangerous situation. *jb the mechanic went on a test drive with the consumer and he noticed that she drove with both feet, the mechanic explained that the transmission could not determine if the vehicle should sstop or go forward when turning, and therefore it stalled. the consumer stated she has made an effort to use only one foot and the problem seemed to be resolved. updated 10/31/07. *jb
