While slowing down after driving on highway or stopping at an traffic light, the car stalls and loses power steering. Needs to be put in neutral to restart but if stopping at another light, it dies again.

My car stalls. This first started happening while at a stop light, my car would stall but would start right up. Now it is happening when I turn into parking lots or making a turn onto another street. My car stalls, I put it in park and it starts back up again. The most frightening time was a few weeks ago when I was driving down a busy street about 40-45 MPH and my car just suddenly stalled. I was very scared that someone would rear-end me. The problem is it happens intermediately. The mechanics can't find the problem because they can't get it to replicate the problem. I don't know what to do except trade it in which I don't want to have to do.

I bought it from hyundai dealer on dec 16, 2009 which only had 31000 miles then. It stalled three times within one week just one week after I brought. One stalling happened when backing up and one time happened when coming to a stop and one time when leaving a stop. I brought it to dealer on december 31,2009. Their report indicated that they found a code for random miss fire and they replace spark plug wires. Things temporarily went well after that. Then the car totally died on one morning, around feb 10,2010. Then the car was towed to dealer service and dealer changed the battery. But the stalling problem came back this week and it had happened twice. One happened when turning around at parking lot and another was happened when turning around on local road. I am going to give dealer for another fix tomorrow.

On 10/24/09 I was driving my car for approximately an hour and a half when I noticed a slight jerking feeling. It repeated once or twice. Later when driving home, after driving for about a half an hour it started up again. Then about an hour later it stalled at a red light, I hardly made it home. I took it to the mechanic and it wasn't displaying the problem. It started up the next day and the check engine light came on. It pulled a po 420 code. I change the o2 sensor, didn't fix it check engine light back on same code. I changed my mid cat converter didn't fix it, light back on same code...my mechanic thinks we should change upper cat converter, I call the dealer. They say the upper cat is connected to the manifold which means I'm still cover under the 100k warranty. Mind you I had my manifold changed at 72k because the check engine light had gone on 18months earlier (I hadn't thought anything of it because it was under federal emissions warranty.) now I'm at 99k and need a new manifold???? So the dealer replaces the manifold, still not fixed. Break down on side of the road. Dealer says it's my problem, they fixed it!!! Back to my mechanic po 420 again. He thinks the old upper cat blew out the new mid cat before we replaced it. It's under warranty so I wait a week for the part to come in... You guessed it still not fixed! I'm bringing it back to my mechanic tomorrow and calling the owner of the dealership. It's been 7 weeks, $900 and my car is still broken.

I have a 5-speed gt hatchback that stalled while stopped at a stop sign in july of 2005. The car would run erratically and try to stall while moving. It seemed to do it when the cooling fan came on. Took to dealer 8/1/05. They could not duplicate the problem. They did replace the throttle position sensor. I had 417 miles on it at that time. I had no problems until 3/30/06. The first warm day in pa and the car started stalling again, and leaking fuel in the left rear wheel well. With only 6900 miles. I have a service appointment 4/3/06. Let's hope I can get this fixed this time before something bad happens. It seems to only stall when warmed up and the outside temp is above 65 degrees.
