Two weeks ago as I was driving to work, my Galant simply stopped moving. The engine was still running, all the warning lights came on, but the car would not move. After turning it off and restarting it several times, I did get to work and had it towed to the dealership where I bought it. They kept it for 24 hours, drove it, ran some tests and told me they couldn't find anything wrong. The same thing happened yesterday, but it stopped moving five times before I could finally get to work. Again I had it towed to the dealership where they had it for 30 hours; same results. I feel like I'm driving a ticking bomb--I could have been rear-ended any of the times when the car just stopped moving. I need someone to find out what's wrong and fix my car.

When ever I crank the car up in the morning or afternoon after the car sits for a while the exhaust smells like bad eggs. The radio/cd was replace three times already and the cd player still sounds staticty when playind disc and the speakers pop when the radio is completely off. Also when ever some gets in and out of the car they get shocked by it to the point where u can actually see the spark from the shock. And when the car is just siting running u can feel the car shake like it is about to cut off.

While driving, all lights dim randomly for 1-3 seconds. Also, the dome light switch fails to turn the dome light on when set to "on" and sometimes does not turn the light on when set to "door" with the door open. The driver and passenger power rearview mirrors no longer move these defects have occurred since the car was new, to the best of my knowledge. *****dims 11 ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis*****769329.
