Consumer Description

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COLD, AND AFTER I START DRIVING, IF I DO NO HAVE MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE ENGINE WILL JUST DIE. WHEN IT DOES, THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS GO ON AND THE STEERING BECOMES COMPLETELY UNRESPONSIVE. I MUST QUICKLY PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND START IT AGAIN. IT CAN HAPPEN MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE THE ENGINE WARMS UP. IT CAN JUST HAPPEN GOING DOWN THE ROAD. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALER AND ANOTHER AUTO REPAIR PLACE AND NEITHER CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG. THIS HAPPENS QUIT OFTEN. *TR
