On 10/26/2000, the mass air flow sensor was replaced due to the check engine light coming up and difficulty in starting the vehicle. After the replacement, these problems were solved. However, a new problem appeared. The vehicle stalled without any warning. It happened twice within a 24-hour period. In both incidents, it happened on a slow left turn after exiting an interstate highway. At the same time, the power steering was disabled. This created a major safety hazard since I had minimal control of the vehicle. In fact, I almost hit a lamppost. I contacted the dealer, but they could not identify the cause yet. In fact, they could not even reproduce the problem. I have a feeling that this is due to a defective mass air flow sensor, but the dealer does not agree. The dealer said that they are going to install a flight recorder on the vehicle to further investigate the cause of the problem.
