DEALER DID NOT KNOW WHAT THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM WAS, AND THEY DIDN'T KNOW IF IT WILL BE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. MANUFACTURER HAS NOT BEEN CONTACTED YET.*AK UPDATE 11/15/05. *JB....CONTACT COMPLAINED ABOUT VEHICLE STALLING. MANUFACTURER'S RECALL OF FUEL TANK, AND AIRBAG LIGHT PROBLEM. IN REGARD TO STALLING, THE CONTACT WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE STALLING PROBLEM COULD NOT BE REPEATED BY SERVICE TECHNICIANS AND THAT NO CODES WERE AVAILABLE AFTER COMPUTER DIAGNOSIS. THEN, WAS TOLD TO START VEHICLE WHEN IT STALLS THE NEXT TIME AND HAVE IT TOWED DIRECTLY TO THE DEALERSHIP. IN THIS WAY, THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO OBTAIN THE CODE FOR THE PROBLEM. ALSO, THEY TOLD THE CONTACT THAT THE IDLE WASN'T CORRECT AND THEY ADJUSTED IT APPROPRIATELY. CONCERNING THE FUEL TANK RECALL, AFTER RECALL SERVICE WAS PERFORMED, THE FUEL TANK WAS REPLACED. FINALLY THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND STAY ON DURING VEHICLE OPERATION. THE DEALERSHIP INVESTIGATED IT AND FOUND A WIRE PROBLEM WHICH THEY REPAIRED. *AK
