Consumer Description

CAR STALLS FOR NO REASON .WHEN IT STALLS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON OR MESSAGES INDICATEING WHAT THE FAILURE WAS. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DOES APPEAR BEFORE YOU START YOUR VECHICLE BUT WHEN CAR STALLS THE ENGINE LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON. IT IS RISK TO BE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND HAVING THE ENGINE STALL AND NOT REALIZING IT .IT ENDANGERS THE LIVES OF THE PERSONS NOT ONLY IN THE VEHICLE BUT OTHERS AS WELL. DEALER HAS TRIED TO REPAIR SEVERAL TIMES BUT THE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STILL DOES NOT ILLUMINATE.I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS AN ENGINEERING PROBLEM IN WHICH THE VEHICLE WAS NEVER PROGRAMMED TO ILLUMINATE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ANYWAYS.
