Consumer Description

ON A 40 DEGREE DAY I DROVE THE CAR ABOUT 1 MILE. AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT IT STALLED. I HAD TO KEEP THE CAR IN PARK UNTIL THE LIGHT CHANGED, THEN I PUT IT IN DRIVE. WHEN THE CAR WAS INITIALLY STARTED IT DIDN'T SEEM RIGHT. IT DIDN'T SEEM TO HAVE POWER OR PICK UP. I NOTICED THE TACHOMETER WAS QUICKLY BOUNCING BETWEEN 1800 RPM DOWN TO 400 RPM PRIOR TO STALLING. CAR HAD HALF A TANK OF DIESEL, OUTSIDE WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE DRY. *TR THE CONSUMER STATED THE STALLING IS STILL ONGOING. THE DEALER BELIEVED THE STALLING WAS A RESULT OF DIFFERENT ADDITIVES IN THE FUEL BETWEEN WINTER AND SUMMER. UPDATED 09/14/11
