Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: This car has been stalling out almost from the beginning of our purchase. it was a used vehicle but it was under warranty. it has been in the repair shop numerious times and i keep getting told it is a phantom problem and they cannot recreate it at the service dept. i have in the past thought the service departments are doing their job but after a year of having the same problem, something needs to be done. this car stalls out most often when it has been sitting for a few hours - it has stalled in front of a dump truck full of gravel - he missed me by just inches since i had just pulled out from a stop sign and the truck came over a hill. last week it stalled in front of a school bus filled with children! the ets and check engine light comes on sometimes & sometimes not! i need someone to look into this problem so i am not driving an unsafe car. after it stalls i sometimes need to leave it sit for a few minutes and sometimes i can get it restarted and then need to "rev" up the engine to keep it going. i have been treated like a "complete idiot" by more than one person at the stark dealership in stoughton, wi. help!!!!!!!!*ak
