This has happened many times, only going at higher rates of speed, 50-70 MPH. I can pull over and it starts right back up. This usually happens when the gas tank is at 1/4 or less, it's not out of gas, I can go another 50 miles without filling up at speeds of under 50 MPH. Once I fill the gas tank back up, it doesn't stall again until the gas tank goes below 1/4. Is there a recall coming up on this issue? Dt
These problems have all happened at different times and seem to be completely unrelated. The rotors had to be replaced with the brakes at approximately 13k miles. The engine just went into idle while I was driving. This happened three separate times, but when I took it in to the dealer. They didn't see anything wrong with it and couldn't duplicate the malfunction. My rear wheels started making a very low noise around 8/15/02. After an accident at the end of august. The noise was much worse and the rear bearings were replaced by the shop that fixed my car after the accident. South florida is a "high-salt/corrosion" area because of our proximity to the sea. This was never introduced before. When the cigarette lighter is pushed in, it does not merely pop out when it is hot. It ejects and is thrown on the floor. Having it land on my leg twice and my carpet scorched by it twice, it could have cause a serious accident. Thank you for your assistance. Dt
