Egr has been replaced twice since 1999 when I bought the vehicle. I just had the egr valve replaced yesterday and today the check engine light is back on and the nasty smell of exhaust/fuel is back in my vehicle. I also had the catalytic converter. Replaced two weeks ago. Vehicle runs rough and stalls without notice. Safety hazard! I have two small baby's and fear for their safety because of breathing in exhaust/fuel and vehicle stalling whenever. Mdh in virginia.

On three separate occasions when we were coming to a stop at a light ---- as we pressed on the brake pedal the engine revved up to approximately 2500 RPM. This made stopping the vehicle a lot more difficult & could feel the anti-lock breaks working to stop the car. Luckily, there was never a vehicle in front of us in each of the instances ---- but we're not sure if this could eventually lead to a future accident. My confidence with the dealerships is not very high in diagnosing this problem if they can't re-create it or if it didn't sent a check engine light code. They would just charge me for their diagnostic efforts. Note: I also recently has high revving problems with this vehicle within the last few months, but they were at start-up & it sent a trouble code. After three trips to the dealership with a iac valve and PCM replacement bill --- they alleviated the problem. This seems to be something else & much more dangerous.

One injector was leaking fuel onto the engine resulting in a loud boom when the vehicle was started, damaging the engine (vortex engine). The check engine light never illuminated indicating there was a problem. The dealer has been notified. *mr

Going down a city street with a slight hill approx thirty degree tilt engine stalled,when this happened brakes had very little or no response, steering became stiff . Only thing that seemed to work correctly was lights. Ran through stop sign as I was trying to push on brakes and turn, finally ending up hitting a telephone pole at about 5 to 7 MPH. Pole did not have much damage, airbag didn't deploy but had $8000 in front-end damage.told repair shop of cause of problem (engine stall)they found no problem. The morning after I picked up noticed stalling again.

Vehicle stalled, and would not run with air condition on and would then over heat, when trying to drive up a slope with the air on, consumer would have to press accelerator all the way to the floor and it would only go 30 MPH, consumer was informed that an egr valve was needed, one week later vehicle began to overheat again with the air condition on, dealer informed consumer that all was needed was a tune-up, consumer experienced the problem for a third time and was told that an egr valve was needed again, on the fourth occasion while driving the engine light came on, and consumer was informed that there was a problem with the injector which was then replaced, consumer and technician then took vehicle for a rest drive and discovered that vehicle was still not running properly, and figured that the timing was off which was then readjusted.

This is a followup to a previously reported problem. The service lite has intermittently come on onthis vehicle since the 40k range . The egr valve,an injector and various incidental parts were replaced in november,1998 at 78000 miles during two separate service visits . The vehicle again experience identical problems in april 1999 at 84000 miles which include rough running and stalling at slow speeds and the service engine light again coming during the rough running periods. The veihcle was returned to the dealer who first replaced the sensor-ox(part #102) this did not correct the problem and 3 days latter a new egr valve had to be instaled on 4/16/99. Due to these repeated problems I feel it is dangerous to drive this vehicle since you never know when the problem will reoccur and the vecle will again stall and run rough, making it an adventure when you are slowing or attempting to merge in traffic.
