Vehicle keeps stalling when slowing down at stops or while slowing down to make turns. At which point, power steering is impossible and this presents a dangerous situation. Problem was first noticed in 11/2002, recurred in 05/2003, both times, the dealer rectified problem.
Engine check light illuminated; mechanic determined a leak in the right side (passenger side) intake manifold (fitting) causing vehicle to stall out whenever slowing down or while idling; also presented dangerous condition when vehicle stalled at approx. 40 MPH exiting on a exit ramp to enter the long island expressway!; I can hear a hissing noise from the engine.
