Consumer Description

FAILURE: VEHICLE RANDOMLY STALLS OUT AND CUTS OUT. CAN OCCUR AT ANY TIME AND HAS NEARLY CAUSED A COLLISION ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AT INTERSECTIONS AND ON FREEWAYS. VEHICLE CAN STALL AT IDLE, OR ANY SPEED. CAUSE OF FAILURE: THE WIRING HARNESSES AT THE PCM BECOME LOOSE CAUSING THE PCM TO LOOSE CONNECTION WITH THE ENGINE, THUS CREATING THE STALL. I BELIEVE THIS IS DUE TO FAULTY LOCKING TABS ON THE HARNESS, WHICH SECURE THE HARNESSES TO THE PCM. CORRECTION: REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE FROM DEALER ONLY. I HAVE CONFIRMED THIS AS THE CAUSE BY GENTLY TOUCHING THE HARNESS WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING, THE SLIGHTEST MOVEMENT CAUSES THE ENGINE TO CUT OUT AND STALL. I HAVE INCLUDED THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE DATE, HOWEVER THE PROBLEM HAPPENS ON A DAILY BASIS AND I WILL NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT IS REPAIRED DUE TO THE SAFETY RISK FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. *TR
