The vehicle experienced a no start condition and would stall while the car was stopped and while being driven, the dealer has replaced several components (tp sensor, crankshaft position sensor, air filter, kick down switch, coil assembly) but the vehicle continues to stall, the consumer believes the problem may be associated with recall 00V-259 of the maf sensor which was performed by the dealer.

Beginning @ 3,000+ miles the vehicle stalled as I was slowing down on an expressway traffic jam. At that time the mass air flow sensor was replaced. This part was later recalled. At 18,000+ it stalled again (last July); a different component was repaired. In September it stalled again. I was told it was partly due to the fact I needed to use higher octane gasoline in the vehicle, but it was still repaired as a warranty item. Late December it stalled again. It didn't begin repeating until January 2002. I took the car in on 1/5/02. The dealership kept the vehicle for 12 days waiting for a component having to do with the crank system. They were unable to idenfy the problem for several days, it won't register on the computer diagnostic system. They consulted the manufacturer. The regional representative came to see the car. The car was delivered to me on 1/17/02 supposedly repaired. It stalled again twice the next day 1/18/02. The vehicle is now at the dealership again. It stalls as I'm slowing down to come to a stop sign and particularly when making a turn of any sort. Now I'm basically petrified to ride in the vehicle and afraid they'll never be able to accurately identify the problem. I can't use the lemon law because there weren't 3 service tickets with the same problem within the first 12,000 miles. They say they've re-checked the mass air flow sensor, but it's working properly. I don't know what to do!

Recall 00V259001 repairs were performed on November 15th, 2000. However, in March of 2001, engine started stalling during normal operation while traveling at any speed. Dealership has examined vehicle six times, and has been unable to effectively remedy problem. Also, during colder weather engine would surge and cause rpms reading to dramatically increase when shifting into second gear. Please provide any additional information / attachments.
