Consumer Description

THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED TO ME MULTIPLE TIMES. I AM JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE ENGINE STALLS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I LOOSE MY POWER STEERING AND HAVE TO TRY TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. ONCE I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURN IT OFF IT WILL THEN RESTART. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT SPEEDS FROM10-70. THE SECOND ISSUE IS SOMETIMES THE CAR LUNGES FORWARD ON ITS OWN OR ACCELERATES MUCH MORE THAN WHAT I AM PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER OWNERS OF THESE CARS AND WE ALL SEEM TO BE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS BUT WHEN WE TAKE IT TO MECHANICS SINCE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN WHEN THEY TEST DRIVE IT THEY CAN'T TELL US WHAT'S WRONG. I HAVE HAD SOME VERY CLOSE CALLS WITH THESE ISSUES AND CAME VERY CLOSE TO BEING INVOLVED IN ACCIDENTS. I AM SURE THERE HAVE BEEN ACCIDENTS CAUSED BY THESE SAME ISSUES BUT IT MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN TRACED BACK TO THE CAR, IT WAS PROBABLY THOUGHT THAT IT WAS DRIVER ERROR. *TR
