Consumer Description

THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIME OVER LAST YEAR OR SO THAT I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE. WHEN DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY AND IT STARTS TO RAIN CARS SPUTTERS AND SEEMS TO LOOSE POWER. TWICE IT HAS STALLED ON ME GOING 55 MILES AN HOUR ON HIGHWAY AND HAVE HAD TO TRY AND COAST TO SIDE OF ROAD IN TRAFFIC WITH PEOPLE BEEPING WITH LOSS OF STEERING. LUCKILY BOTH TIMES AFTER A FEW MINS THE VEHICLE STARTED AGAIN AND WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME. HAVE CHANGED WIRES AND PLUGS, RUNS FINES IN DRY WEATHER BUT STILL STUTTERS AND TRIES TO STALL WHEN ITS WET OUT OR RAINS! VERY DANGEROUS AND WONT LET WIFE TAKE KIDS OUT WHEN IT RAINS IN FEAR THEY WILL GET STUCK SOMEWHERE. *TR
