While deiving a message on the dash stated to stop while it is safe. The car proceded to stall. It could not be started. I happen to be in the middle of the road and required to call for help to push the vehicle to the side. I was able to start the car later that day to drive it home. This is the forth time it happened over an 18 month period. I was very lucky that I was not in heavy traffic or on a high speed road during any of these events. I did have the car to a repair shop after the last time it happened and described the problem to the mchanic. Repairs were made but nothing to do with this problem. This is definitely a safety issue and it appears that it has been reported many times. I do not understand why there has not been a recall on this issue. I don't know what to do at this time or whether I should continue using the vehicle.
