My vehicle sputters while driving. There have been a few incidents where my vehicle has almost stalled on the freeway while I was driving in fast lane. I have taken my vehicle to the dealer at least 5 time in a 2 month window, and they claim that they cannot find anything wrong with my vehicle, so they are refusing to fix my vehicle or take all of the precautionary measures to repair my vehicle. The dealer claims that since they cannot find anything wrong with my vehicle, then there is nothing that they can do and I am just stuck with a defective vehicle, which has become unsafe to drive on the road.
