ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
VEHICLE WOULD STALL AT LOW SPEED, EVEN AFTER DEALER CLAIMED THEY FIXED SOME WIRINGS IN THE BACK OF ENGINE ON 8/28/2000. THE ENGINE STALL HAS BEEN AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM FOR THIS VEHICLE SINCE BRAND NEW, FIRST IT WAS A DEFECTIVE ALTERNATOR THEN THE WIRINGS? THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS ON HIGHWAY BECAUSE YOU DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE ENGINE IS GOING TO STALL. THIS VEHICLE ALSO HAS A EXHAUST FUMES GETTING INTO AC INTAKE PROBLEM, I SUSPECT A DEFECTIVE HOOD SEAL.
