Periodic but repeated stalling of the engine when slowing to a stop and clutch disengaged. Complete loss of power when engine stalled and vehicle was still moving, resulting in numerous near collisions. Problem has worsened whereby the vehicle will periodically stall at any time when vehicle is in motion, even at high rate of speed and low throttle application. Very difficult to control vehicle when stall occurs at highway speeds. Extremely dangerous condition. Dealer has inspected vehicle and claims they cannot replicate condition. Has been brought to dealer several times. Other conditions involve the repair of a leaking head gasket that was partially covered by manufacturer after expiration of warranty. Door switch for dome light, door ajar indicator, and key-in-ignition warning tone malfunctioned once under warranty and was repaired by dealer. Condition returned after expiration of warranty and dealer refused to cover.
