There are no events leading to the failure.. No warning at all... The car, a 2004 honda element stalls while driving... In one weekend it did it three times once at 62 MPH, once on a ramp between two high speed roads, and once in the middle of a heavily traffic and busy road in the middle lane. I have taken it to the dealership twice. It is there yet, they are trying to duplicate it and cannot.. It is dangerous... To me and to people in my car with me and to others around me in other cars.
