Engine stalls while driving by model year
What owners say
In march of 2002 the dash starting coming unglued and rolling up, which caused my defogger to pop out and not defog my windshield correctly. The car also stalls out when taking off from a starting position or changing to passing gear. The engine has to then be shut off and restarted for it to clear up. This will last about 30 minutes before it happens again.
Vehicle stalls intermittently when coming to a stop, dealer has replaced the power steering pressure switch, however that did not remedy the problem.*jb idle air control was also replaced.
Starting in june 2000, when A/C was turned on, an obnoxious musty odor was present, then on 12-09-00 with heater turned on and driving 60 MPH to work, became very ill and disoriented, later taken by ems, on 3-27-01, when leaving for work and turning out of drivie way, car stalled in middle of street and wouldn't start. Took to dealer fuel pump was replaced, dash was warpped and had to be replace because adhesive was coming off back of dash, fumes or odors from any of these components may have caused me to become totally disoriented which caused me to hit a concrete barrier while driving.
Intermittently when speed control was activated it would accelerate beyond set speed, eventually causing vehicle to stall out and die. Also, intermittently vehicle would accelerate suddenly and unexpectedly when brakes were applied. Dealer and manufacturer has been notified.
