Consumer Description

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY, AND STAYS ON FOR ABOUT 48 HOURS. WHEN I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY CANNOT FIND OUT WHY THE LIGHT IS COMING ON BECAUSE THE CODE IS NO LONGER VISIBLE. THE CAR IDLES ROUGH AND CUTS OFF WHEN THE CAR IS WARM AND I'M STOPPED IN TRAFFIC, AT A RED LIGHT FOR EXAMPLE. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO HAVE MY CAR CUT OFF IN INNER-CITY TRAFFIC. IT ALSO OCCURRED ONCE WHEN I WAS TRYING TO START THE CAR AFTER BEING OFF FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES. I HAD TO START IT 3 TIMES IN ORDER FOR IT TO STAY ON. EACH TIME, IT IDLED VERY ROUGHLY AND CUT OFF WITHIN A FEW SECONDS. *TR
