Consumer Description

THE ENGINE WILL RANDOMLY STALL, HAS STALLED IN INTERSECTIONS TWO TIMES INDUCING NEAR LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER A NUMBER OF TRIES. ON 10-21-99 I HAD A MECHANIC CHECK IT OUT, CHANGE FILTERS, CLEAN INJECTORS. THE ENGINE STILL HAS THE RANDOM STALL FEATURE. TODAY, WHEN I DROVE THE CAR HOME, IT DIED IN MY DRIVEWAY. I LET IT COOL DOWN. RESTARTED IT AND CONTINUED TO STALL AND DIE AS I TRIED TO BACK OUT MY DRIVE. **NOTE**I NOTICE YOUR DATABASE HAS OTHER STALL REPORTS---THE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND THE RANDOM FAILURES SEEMS DANGEROUS. PLEASE CHECK THIS OUT IMMEDIATELY. I'LL NOTIFY MY DEALER AND ALSO CONGRESS & THE US SENATE TO FIND OUT WHETHER NHTSA HAS OR SHOULD HAVE ALREADY ACTED ON THIS POSSIBLE SERIOUS PROBLEM.
