Vehicle was hesitating, stalling, choking and the engine light came on, vehicle was taken into dealer but the problem could not be duplicated, when consumer went to the dealer the second time she was informed that a tune- up was needed and the fuel injection needed to be serviced and that was causing the vehicle to stall, however consumer experienced the same problems another two times, before it was determined that the motor fuse blew out and there were problems with the electrical system.
My transmision has stalled on me many times one of the times almost causing me to get into a very serious accident when turning into a busy highway. My car has been in dealership for almost one month now. I have also had problems with my brakes having the rotors cut once then replaced a second time. When I took my car in the first time for the transmission they said it only needed transmission fluid. Weeks later car stalled on me again and when we checked it, it had no transmision fluid and when I took it back to the dealership they said it had two leaks and I am still waiting for them to recieve parts to fix. I am very frustrated and stressed out due to this back and forth with them. I do not want the vehicle and am scared to drive it again.
Vehicle acts like it wants to stall when accelerating or decelerating around 5-10mph(intermittant).had to dealer 3 times and kept overnihgt on one occasion and found nothing.note(using 87 octane).
