Dt*: the contact stated while driving 15 MPH, the engine hesitated, then stalled. The vehicle was taken to an independent repair shop who determined that the problem was with the mass air flow sensor which would need to be replaced. However, the replacement parts needed to be ordered. The manufacturer was contacted who determined there was a recall # 00v259001 regarding electrical system:wiring but the vehicle was not included in the recall due to the VIN.

Vehicle hesitates going down road. Also stalls and cuts off at low speeds and at a stop. Sometimes hesitates when trying accelerate. Recall 00v259001 has been done several times and does not correct problem. Car has been to dealer six times for same problem and still not fixed. I've talked to the service manager, dealership manager, owner, and customer service with no help. This has been going on for over 2 years. The first web sight I checked for other complaints was mycarstats.com. I found 21 complaints of the exact same problem with no solution.

The car hesitates, when I press the breaks then gas, the car completely stopped. I was taking my children to day care several times the car stopped in the middle of the road after I stopped at the stop. Then proceeded. My 4 yrs old son noticed when the car stopped completely and I had to start it again in the middle of the road, I took it to the dealer and they had put some parts at the car but it kept doing the same thing after several of weeks, my nae used to be frances stevens when the car was bought. I dont remember when I bought it because I just moved and the papers are in boxes, I did send the papers that the dealer gave me to send to motor vehicle in connecticut of the four times that the car was taking into repair and motor vehicles has not responded.
