#706821May 24, 1999
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:FAN
WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR AFTER PURCHASE THE VEHICLE ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS STALLED AND WOULD NOT RESTART (TEMPORARILY)WHILE MOVING. ONE ONE OCCASION MERELY WAITING AT CURBSIDE ABOUT 25 MINUTES WAS SUFFICIENT TO ALLOW CAR TO RESTART. NO DASHBOARD LIGHTS INDICATED ANY PROBLEM. THE SITUATION REPEATED ITSELF ON AT LEAST TWO OCCASIONS. ON THE FINAL OCCASION (1990) IT WAS ACCOMPANIED BY AN INTENSE ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL. NO FUSES BLEW THAT I COULD TELL. THEREAFTER I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANOTHER STALLING EPISODE OF THIS TYPE. HOWEVER, SINCE THAT TIME THE COOLING FAN NEVER OPERATES. I MUST NOT BE STOPPED IN TRAFFIC ON A HOT DAY OR THE ENGINE WILL OVERHEAT. I HAVE NO FUSES WHICH ARE BLOWN. SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM HAVE NOT BEEN SUCESSFUL. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT ANY OF THE 'IDIOT LIGHT' INDICATORS/SENSORS HAVE EVER WORKED. I WAS PROMPTED TO WRITE THIS AFTER READING OF SO MANY MANY PROBLEMS INVOLVING ENGINES STALLING WHILE UNDERWAY. HOPE THIS IS HELPFUL TO SOMBODY.
