Car has been stalling taken it to several mechanics plus the dealership and they can't find the problem. Today was the worse it stalled 3 times at a drive thru and twice while at a busy intersection. It seems the car stalls more often if the air condition is on I do not feel safe driving around with my windows rolled down plus high temps. Today I noticed the car accelerated after idelling at a traffic light since I am not the primary driver I don't know how long this has been going on. Between the stalls and speed acceration I am a nervous wreck driving this car. The mileage on car 108000 and it is an automatic VIN# jhmgd38478so47374.
