Consumer Description

CAR STALLS RANDOMLY IF OIL IS LOW ... ON HIGHWAYS, AT INTERSECTIONS, WHILE TURNING OR AT STOP LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS. PROBLEM STARTED WHEN VEHICLE ONLY HAD 3000 MILES. BROUGHT IT IN FOR SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS NORMAL BEHAVIOR FOR THIS VEHICLE. THEY SAID THE VEHICLE BURNS OIL QUICKLY AND WHEN IT IS LOW IT STALLS. THIS WAS A 17 BIRTHDAY PRESENT FOR MY DAUGHTER WHO HAD SEVERAL NEAR MISS ACCIDENTS BEFORE WE FIGURED OUT THE PROBLEM.
