I believe any manufacturer defect which causes a moving vehicle to lose power and become uncontrollable while in motion is an extremely serious and potentially deadly problem.Ĭ ® is an online automotive complaint resource that uses graphs to show automotive defect patterns, based on complaint data submitted by visitors to the site. It was only when my wife and I were together this last time that we both commented on the problem, and found that it has happened to each of us several times. This same problem has occurred approximately 5-6 times in the last 2 years, however I can not be specific on dates. Under different circumstances or traffic patterns, a stalled engine leaving a moving vehicle powerless likely would cause an accident resulting in possible injury or death. There was no accident because of light traffic. The stall left the vehicle without power steering, and the vehicle coasted into a driveway. The second stall occurred while the vehicle was in motion at approximately 15-20 mph and turning left. The engine restarted, but stalled again approximately 2 minutes later. The first stall happened while the vehicle was idling at a stop sign approximately 1 minute after fueling. The gas pump auto stopped when full, and the tank was not topped off. The vehicle was filled with unleaded 87 octane gas to full. The engine stalled twice within 5 minutes of refueling.
