What owners say
Vehicle lose power on warm weather and sometimes stalls.
This car has had a habit of stalling while goin down the road, at any speed( once while in a six lane highway, crossing the merrimack river, in st. Louis, mo. I have had it to lee kinstle chevrolet/gm, van wert, oh, winkle chevrolet, paulding, oh, and a chevrolet/geo dealer, in balwin, mo. I can't remember the name. I have had a complete tune-up, including plugs, rotor. Cap, and plug wires. I had all the wiring gone over twice. A new fuel pump, twice, and it still stops at any moment. I am afraid someone will be in a crash, due to loss of power steering, and power brakes. Can you help? I don't know where to turn!!
While driving vehicle at 35 to 40 MPH vehicle started to lose power. Also, flames were coming from under vehicle and engine compartment. Insurance company noted cause of fire was due to a wiring harness which connects to battery and alternator.
