Consumer Description

DURING THE FIRST MONTH OF OWNERSHIP, I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH AND PREPARING TO STOP FOR STOPLIGHT, THE CAR STALLED AT SPEED; I ASSUMED THAT IT WAS DUE TO BEING UNACCUSTOMED TO THE GEARING. I HAVE ALSO HAD SEVERAL INSTANCES IN WHICH AFTER THE CAR HAD BEEN SITTING IN THE PARKING LOT DURING WORK, I PULLED OUT AND THE CAR STUMBLED, BUT DID NOT STALL. HOWEVER, I DID NEED TO ENGAGE THE CLUTCH SEVERAL TIMES. ALSO, AFTER THE SAME CIRCUMSTANCES, I PULLED OUT SUCCESSFULLY AND FELT THE CAR LOSE POWER SUDDENLY, AS IF THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH GAS/AIR TO KEEP GOING. *TR
