ENGINE, SEAT BELTS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2 ISSUES: 1) THE CAR STALLS (ENGINE CUTS OFF) SPORADICALLY. IT RESTARTS WITHOUT HESITATION BUT THE STALLS ARE DURING TRANSIT WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC. I SEE A LOT OF INSTANCES WHERE THIS COMPLAINT HAS BEEN REPORTED BUT I DON'T SEE ANY RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE. 2) WHEN SOMEONE IS SITTING ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WITH THE SEAT BELT BUCKLED, THE SEATBELT WARNING LIGHT AND CHIMING CONTINUOUSLY BLINK AND SOUNDS. ALSO, ALL THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD BLINKS SIMULTANEOUSLY PERIODICALLY. NOT SURE IF THAT IS RELATED BUT I DON'T SEE ANY RECALLS CONCERNING THIS. I WILL BE REPORTING THESE TO THE MEDIA FOR ASSISTANCE IN GETTING THESE ISSUES ADDRESSED WITH MY VEHICLE. *TR

STEERING, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
HAD FILLED UP GAS TANK, UPON PULLING OUT EXPERIENCED ENGINE HESITATION AND LACK OF POWER. A FEW MINUTES LATER WHILE PASSING THOUGH A MAJOR INTERSECTION WITH 3 CHILDREN IN CAR, VEHICLE STALLED, CAUSING LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND OF COURSE ANY MEANS OF PROPULSION. THE VEHICLE STARTED AGAIN BUT STALLED THREE MORE TIMES BEFORE RETURNING HOME. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS SITUATION WHICH CAN ENDANGER LIVES IN A HIGH SPEED AND HIGH TRAFFIC SITUATION. *TR

THERE IS A RECALL P57 AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER BUT THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE. THEY HAVE INDICATED THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THE CAR FIXED AT $800 AND WHEN THE MANUFACTURE HAS THE PART AVAILABLE THEY WOULD REIMBURSE US THE COST. WE DO NOT HAVE $800 AND SINCE THEY KNOW IT IS A RECALL THE MANUFACTURE SHOULD PAY UP FRONT. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, ENGINE
AFTER FILLING UP WITH FUEL THE CAR HAS A TENDENCY TO STALL AT INTERSECTIONS OR STOP AND TURNS. ALSO WILL SURGE OR LOOSE POWER AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. USUALLY ONLY LAST FOR 0-15 MILES OR SO AND THEN GOES AWAY UNTIL NEXT FILL UP. I BELIEVE THIS FAULT IS DUE TO A FUEL TANK ISSUE, THAT WHEN FILLED CAUSES FUEL TO BE SHUT OFF TO ENGINE. POSSIBILITY FOR BEING REAR ENDED ARE VERY GREAT WITH THIS KIND OF PROBLEM. ESPECIALLY IN HIGH TRAFFIC AREAS.

ENGINE
THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN ROW WHILE FILLING UP THE VEHICLE WITH GASOLINE. ONCE THE FILL UP IS COMPLETE AND THE CAR IS DRIVEN AWAY, WITHOUT WARNING, THE CAR WILL STALL AND UPON RESTARTING WILL STALL AGAIN UNEXPECTEDLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN WHICH COULD LEAD TO INJURY OR DEATH WITH A VEHICLE THAT WILL STALL WITHOUT NOTICE AND IN TRAFFIC. *TR
