Engine stalls while driving by model year
What owners say
Intake manifold leaked coolant fluid all over the engine. This resulted in the vehicle stalling while driving . The manifold was replaced, but the problem recurred. The dealership replaced the manifold with a redesigned one.*ak
While driving vehicle at any speed engine would stall. Dealer inspected vehicle several times, and problem still occurring.
While driving the vehicle stalled and the check engine light illuminated. The vehicle was taken tot eh dealer where it was determined that the engine intake manifold had a design defect which caused premature gasket failure. That failure caused coolant to leak into the engine manifold and burn in the engine. The vehicles A/C compressor also failed. *ak *cb
At 33,000 miles vehicle been experiencing ongoing / intermittent problems with hesitation and stalling, by starting or while driving. Vehicle been in dealer shop on three occasions, and unable to duplicate the problem. Feel free to provide any further information on this matter.
Intermittently vehicle stalled and die without warning. Dealer has not been able to duplicate or correct the problem.
Car stalls for no reason .when it stalls no check engine light comes on or messages indicateing what the failure was. The check engine light does appear before you start your vechicle but when car stalls the engine light does not come on. It is risk to be driving the vehicle and having the engine stall and not realizing it .it endangers the lives of the persons not only in the vehicle but others as well. Dealer has tried to repair several times but the the check engine light still does not illuminate.I believe that this is an engineering problem in which the vehicle was never programmed to illuminate the check engine light anyways.
After vehicle has been parked in heated garage for awhile. Then started it, and vehicle stalled. Would need to be jumped. Has happened 15 times. Took vehicle to dealership & mechanic changed the battery & alternator. But problem could not be duplicated.
