The vehicle typically stalls while driving at highway speeds but has stalled on city streets. When the vehicle stalls I am able to turn the ignition back on and drive. I have had the p41 / the federal safety agency 14v‑438 recall and this did not resolve the issues. It is stalling even more often now. I have had this issue for the last 3 years I have owned the vehicle. I have taken it in for repair to 3 different repair shops not including the recall and it is still not fixed. This is a major safety concern. The vehicle stalled one particular time and I was almost hit by a bus on the highway. When the vehicle stalls you lose power steering and I was lucky enough to make it out of the way. The current mileage is approximately 132,500.

The vehicle stalls a various speeds, but typically while driving at highway speeds. My daily commute is about 32 miles each way and I typically experience the vehicle shutting off once per day. When the vehicle does stall I have been able to place the vehicle in neutral, turn the ignition off, then restart by turning the ignition back on and putting the vehicle back in drive. I did have the vehicle serviced for recall p41 / the federal safety agency 14v‑438 which was to resolve issues with loss of power during driving but no significant changes have been noticed since the repair. This issue has been occurring for about the last three years with increasing frequency. It has been taken in for repair multiple times, beside the recall repair, while under warranty but never fixed. This issue is a major safety concern for myself and family as there are times when the vehicle stalls while entering onto the highway or during highway travel. When the vehicle stalls it looses power steering so control and speed put ourselves and others at danger. The date and mileage mentioned below is the last time the stall occurred and not reflective of all the occurrences when the vehicle stalled.
