1993 pontiac grand am, 124,ooo miles. The car starts and runs good. When I go 10 to 15 miles and if I come to a stop, the car stalls. It starts with no problem but when I shift a gear, the car stalls. If I wait for the car to cool off, the car will move without stalling. I bought this car for my daughter since she is a new driver, but I'm afraid to let her take it on her own for fear that she'll stall and cause an accident.

Component #1 (brakes)-brakes wear out every three months regardless of driving conditions or driving habits, have had all components associated with brakes replaced and problem still occurs; component #2 (ignition) - almost every time I accelerate from a stop, the engine hesitates and shudders for approximately 3-5 seconds regardless of weather conditions or temperature of engine; component #3 (transmission) - on most right turns there is a clunk that eminates from the driver's side; component #4 (window) - the window on the driver's side is extremely difficult to roll down or up, especially in cooler weather
