NO ACCIDENTS YET, BUT VERY EASILY COULD'VE BEEN. CAR STALLS WITH NO WARNING AND SOMETIMES DOESN'T WANT TO START. CAR HAS STALLED 3 TIMES - IT HAPPENED TWICE SHORTLY AFTER LEAVING A STOPLIGHT, SO 20-35MPH AND THE THIRD TIME WAS GOING 55MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THE TWO TIMES IT STALLED AT 20-35MPH IT STARTED UP RIGHT AWAY. AFTER IT STALLED AT 55MPH, IT TOOK 3-5 TRIES TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN. THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN TWO OTHER SEPARATE TIMES THAT THE CAR DID NOT WANT TO START. THIS HAPPENED AFTER DRIVING THE CAR A SHORT DISTANCE, ABOUT 5 MILES, TURNING IT OFF FOR 10-20 MINUTES AND THEN IT TOOK 3-5 TRIES TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN. THE SECURITY LIGHT DID NOT COME ON WHEN THESE INCIDENTS HAPPENED. CAR DOES HAVE 126,000 MILES ON IT. CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THERE IS NO CODE INDICATING WHAT THIS STALLING/NO START...
