Consumer Description

The car stalls while driving. The vehicle will just shut off while trying to back up, pull into parking lots, pull away at traffic lights, and trying to turn into a roadway.

It is extremely unsafe. The evap canister is the known issue, but it continues to break and the stalling issue continues.
