CAR STALLS RANDOMLY SINCE FIRST BOUGHT AND HAS DONE SO TOO MANY TIMES TO COUNT. CAR HAS STALLED ON MY DAUGHTER IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WITH AN 18 WHEELER ON HER TAIL, SHE HAD TO SWERVE INTO A CONVENIENCE STORE PARKING LOT WITH A 5 1/2 POT HOLE CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE CAR. THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN THE GARAGE 6 - 8 TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR. THE DEALER SAYS THEY CANNOT FIX IT UNLESS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN 3 TIMES IN 8 MONTHS WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND THEY ONLY REPLACE THE GAS CAP ASSEMBLY EVERY TIME AND THE CAR STILL CONTINUES TO STALL AT RANDOM. DEALER SAYS THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM AND DAUGHTER IS DUMB BLONDE! THE CAR ALSO HESITATES WHEN DRIVING AND RUNS ROUGH LIKE IT WANTS TO STALL, YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL JUST STOP ON YOU. THIS IS NOT A SAFE VEHICLE TO HAVE ON THE ROADS. I AM FILING LEMON LAW PAPERS ON IT TODAY.*AK
