Engine stalls while driving by model year
What owners say
While driving at various speeds vehicle intermittently stalled. Consumer towed the vehicle to the dealer, and technician fixed the vehicle, but the problem is still occurring.
Idling for a long time, or driving at very low speeds for a long time (stop-and-go in a severe traffic jam) also having most of the vehicle's electrical equipment turned will cause the battery to go dead because the alternator does not adequately charge. This may be a safety problem because driving in the mountains during severe traffic may cause the battery to discharge and the engine to stall; not allowing the ability to move to safe position.
