After stalling will not restart. I have replaced all mini-fuses,battery, starter,and still will stall. Sometimes while driving above 25 MPH while still moving it will restart on its own. This is a huge safety issue.

This condition has nearly caused an accident on multiple occasions as the car will stop in the middle of an intersection with out warning. No cel is present all maintenance is up to schedule. Fuel filter,spark plugs, wires,air filter,cleaned throttle body. Dealer has no idea what it can be. This is not a safe car and should be recalled due to this dangerous flaw.

On november 28, 2007 my 2 year old son, dylan fisher depetro lost his life, along with 9 month old amelia demeuse, to a minivan fire that also seriously injured two others in the town of luxemburg, wi. Our son's sitter ran some errands for another little girl's 1st birthday. While she was in a hardware store, purchasing decorations, the minivan, holding five children (along with my son) caught fire. The cause remains under investigation. I hold no anger towards sue laluzerne, the sitter. She loved my son and my son loved her. However, I know that my son's death was not in vain. He was called home to jesus for a reason and I feel it's my calling to ensure that something like this never happens again. The minivan was destroyed by fire in less than 5 minutes. My son was pronounced dead at the scene from smoke inhalation and soot. He probably only took two breaths before becoming unconscious. Although the cause has not been determined, I firmly believe that there is no excuse for a vehicle becoming consumed in flames in such a short time. My son was in a car seat that was built into the minivan; a seat that contained highly flammable, toxic materials. We are working with gil ross, a lawyer out of chicago, to help us during this time. There is no amount of money that could ever ease the pain of losing my child. What I really want to happen out of all of this is for the auto industry to stop using flammable materials in their seats, especially if car seats are built in. I want people to be trained in the use of car seats in cpr classes across the nation and a mechanism for quick release of a car seat in the event of an accident or fire. I ask for your help in making the world aware of this safety issue and helping us to change the safety standards. My son deserves this. Thank you.
