Engine stalls while driving by model year
What owners say
While driving 30 MPH the vehicle's engine stalled without warning. Please provide additional information.
Upon pulling onto the interstate vehicle jerked then stalled. Consumer had the vehicle towed to the dealership for inspection, and mechanic determined that transmission failed.
The engine runs for about 10,000 miles before it begins to stall out at unexpected times.this problem has been diagnosed as a problem with the maf sensor . This sensor(mass air flow) has failed 3 times in less than a year in heavy traffic conditions. The vehicle simply shuts down and is hard to restart . This occurence has happened at all speeds and so far I have avoided an accident . I feel that it is a matter of time before the failure of the maf will cause a serious accident.
The vehicle stalls on highway and does not restart due to unknown cause. Yh
