Consumer Description

MY CARS ENGINE HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES TODAY, IT IDLES LOW WHEN MOVING FROM A STOPPED POSITION LIKE AT A STOP LIGHT AND WHEN I GIVE IT GAS IT IDLES HIGH AND THEN WHEN I STOP OR SLOW DOWN IT STALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC ALMOST CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I WAS SO SCARED TODAY. I WILL NOT DRIVE IT AGAIN UNTIL I FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. I AM GLAD ME OR MY SON DIDN'T GET INTO A VERY BAD ACCIDENT. WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR BRAND NEW IT DID THIS AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT, BUT IT HAS NEVER SEEMED TO IDLE CORRECTLY. *TR
