Consumer Description

CAR STALLS WITHOUT WARNING. WE HAVE LIMITED OUR USE OF THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM WITH IT STALLING UNEXPECTANTLY DURING TRIPS OF ANY LONG DURATION. THE CAR IS USED ONLY ON VERY SHORT TRIPS OF LESS THAN 10 MILES. CAR HAS STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC NUMEROUS TIMES AND HAD TO BE PUSHED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN HEAVY TRAFFIC SO THEREFORE DID NOT DRIVE IT ON FREEWAY TRAFFIC. IF THE CAR SET FOR A HALF HOUR OR MORE IT WOULD START AGAIN BUT STALL AGAIN IF TRIP WAS OF ANY LONG DURATION. STALLED ON A FAMILY VACATION IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ALMOST CAUSING A REAR END ACCIDENT. DURING ONE TRIP OF 30 MILES CAR STALLED AND TRIP ENDED UP TAKING 2 HOURS TO TRY AND DRIVE THE CAR HOME WHEN THE USUAL TRIP WOULD HAVE TAKEN 30-40 MINUTES. CAR GUAGES WOULD NOT SHOW ANY OVER HEATING OR PROBLEM.
