This car has continually stalled out at different speeds. I was told it was the throttle position sensor so I replaced that. That seemed to fix it temporarily but just yesterday I was driving on the highway and the car completely cut off going 55mph plus. The car completely stalled died out and I had no control over anything. Had this happened in the fast lane with more traffic my death would have been on the news. I want this fixed at no cost to me as this is ludicrous this car has such a defect. I buy a high end luxury car for high end luxury not to be in a pinto type death trap. I want this documented so others also know about this issue as dealer should know about issue and not being able to replicate results is bs as I stated it doesn't happen often but at random times. Car starts up right after the stall but the stall is the horrific issue!

While driving the engine would stall intermittently. It frequently happened on the freeways while driving 55 MPH, but was not necessarily confined to freeway driving. It happened on side streets and while crossing the railroad tracks and intersections. We took the vehicle to our dealer. They told us repeatedly that they couldn't duplicate the problem. Between october 2013 and jan/feb 2014 we spent over $2,000 for different parts the dealer thought was the problem. To be fair, part of the money was spent for brakes and other service. My husband passed away jan. 28, 2014 and the vehicle was at the dealers. It still wasn't fixed. I asked them to please keep the car and see if they could find why the stalling was happening. They kept the car for about 2 weeks and called and said they found the problem and they would only charge me for parts and not labor. I believe this vehicle should be on the recall list. I, too had problems with windows falling down.
