Engine stalls while driving in motion-so far has only occurred while driving on city streets but is becoming more frequent. Originally seemed to occur only when not fully warmed up but now is happening at regular operating temperatures also. It has happened both while making turns and while traveling in a straight line. I often don't notice it has occurred until I try to accelerate or turn and discover the loss of power steering and that the tachometer is on "o" rpms. It has become a regularly re-occurring annoyance and has obvious danger potential.

On several occasions (5 to date) the engine has stalled while the vehicle is moving at a steady speed. Each time the vehicle has been moving at less than 20mph and has been running for a relatively short period of time 5-10 min from cold start. We took the car to the dealer, but no codes were set and they couldn't find anything wrong. They say the engine is not due for maintenance for another 15,000 miles. We are extremely disappointed in this response given the seriousness of having the engine stall while the car is moving. Heaven forbid it occur while on the highway.
