First occurrence about 87000 miles was traveling on freeway when car stalled. Started it back up and check engine light came on. Took vehicle to dealer and they installed new spark plug and wires. Stalled again at about 89000 miles and was told to bring back when check engine light came back on. Check engine light came on again and took vehicle in on Saturday but store was remodeling and couldn't get me in. Took car in for 90000 mile service and check engine light was on. Was told that spark plugs were installed. I informed them I had spark plugs and wires installed the last service and that this stalling of my vehicle is dangerous. Was told that after the spark plugs were installed it cleared the check engine light and that I would have to bring the car in again when the check engine light was on. Dealership has been of no help with this issue. Looked online for people with similar problems and it points to recall #08v033000.
