Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 10 MILES AN HOUR WITHOUT WARNING. IT'S BUTTERS LIKE IT'S OUT OF FUEL THE ENGINE SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND THEN TURNS OFF. ONCE THE CAR SITS UNTIL THE ENGINE GETS COMPLETELY COOL IT WILL RUN NORMAL. SOMETIMES IT TAKES A THOUSAND MILES SOMETIMES IT TAKES 10. IT STALLS UNDER DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES BUT WILL NOT STALL IF IT'S IN PARK IDLING. AS SOON AS YOU PUT IT IN DRIVE IT SHIFTS INTO SECOND AND THEN STALLS. TAKING IT TO SEVERAL PLACES AND IT'S NEVER ACTED UP WHEN THEY TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE SO NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT. IT IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN IF I PULL OUT ONTO A HIGHWAY AND THE CAR STALLS I COULD POTENTIALLY BEING A FATAL CRASH. HERE IS THE YOUTUBE VIDEO OF THE EXACT SAME SITUATION, IN THE COMMENTS IT'S SUGGEST REPLACING A FUEL RAIL PRESSURE SENSOR. THE SENSOR HAS BEEN REPLACED. STILL EXPERIENCES THE SAME ISSUE. HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/CNHRG4PEORU. I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE ON AND OFF FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS. IT'S THE ONLY VEHICLE MY WIFE AND I OWN AND WE ARE AFRAID TO TAKE OUR CHILD ANYWHERE DUE TO THIS ISSUE.
