Engine stalls while driving by model year
What owners say
During normal driving, reach the traffic lights, engine stall when the brake is applied at the stop light. Afterwards, I can restart the car normally. This has happened a couple of times, about one month apart.
My car was stationary. I had just drove through a parking lot and stopped to make a left hand turn across two lanes of traffic. Once traffic cleared I accelerated through the first lane but my car would not go faster. My foot was all the way down on the accelerator. At a few seconds and near miss collision my car decided to finally go. It felt like it stalled and I had no control. This only happens in the summer and all I can think of is that the car is getting to hot.
