While driving, usually decelerating or getting ready to stop or already stopped and getting ready to accelerate the engine will stall or completely shut off, will be completely hot, will take about 15-20 minutes and then will start again. This has caused my son safety issues where he's completely stopped running on a busy road and then had to push the car into either a parking lot without power steering (hard to do by himself at 18 yo) or into a driveway. This has also happened in the country at night. No lights come on except once when the abs and traction lights came on. The vehicle will vibrate slightly before each episode. The last episode we had to have it towed. Has happened about 6 times. Now no longer driving due to safety!!.
While slowing for an exit ramp off of the highway the engine stalled. Could not restart and had to be towed away.
Engine stalled out while driving with no warning and if lucky starts up after about an hour without any indication why.
Driving 60mph on the interstate. Slowed to 45-50mph for traffic congestion. Tried to accelerate again but gas pedal didn't respond. Didn't realize engine had stalled. Drifted over to slow lane to try to stop. Power steering and brakes went out. Put it in neutral and turned the ignition. Was able to get off the highway and drive to the dealership for repairs.
Engine has stalled when pulling out onto the highway after being stopped at a light or stop sign. This has happened at least 3 or 4 times almost causing me to get hit by oncoming traffic. I told the dealership about it at the time. They checked and said they couldn't find anything wrong.
Engine stalls while stopped or at slow speeds with no warning such as when approaching or in an intersection waiting for light to change or traffic to move. This has been a recurring problem that has happened while still moving and when stopped on city streets since I bought the car new in 2011. Repeated trips to the dealer resulted in nothing being done because diagnosis showed nothing.
