What owners say
The vehicle stalls while stopped and while driving due to a shorted wire at the pulley. Nlm
While traveling and making a turn vehicle stalled without indicaton. Also, while in reverse vehicle will not back up. This is intermittent. Dealer has been notified.
I brought my vehicle in because it stalled several times for no reason. I was told there was nothing wrong with it. The day I picked it up it stalled again. Aproximately one month after the original visit I discovered that the catylytic converter was not functioning but was told this probably did not cause the stalling.
Vehicle continually stalling.
