ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
CAR STALLS AFTER COMING TO A STOP AND THEN PUSHING GAS PEDAL. DEALER CLAIMS THAT A WIRING HARNESS NEEDED TO BE RE-ROUTED. READING THE COMPLAINT DATABASE I SEE THIS IS A MORE COMMON PROBLEM THAN WAS TOLD. IF IT IS THE WIRING HARNESS, THEN OKAY AND THE DEFECT SHOULD BE RECALLED. IF THIS IS NOT THE CAUSE OF THE STALLING THEN I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WILL DO.
