It all started with my check engine light. So the dealership had me replace a bad thermostat and a catayltic converter( which was a recalled part) and the engine light was off and the car was fine for about a week and a half. The first few times it stalled without warning at stop lights and would not restart for a few minutes. Then it progressed to stalling while driving at 35, at 55, at 70. A different mechanic had me replace my fuel pump and filter($330.00) and the car ran good for two days. Also had the battery checked and its fine. Its not and every day thing and it is happening under all conditions cold , warm, highway and city driving. The car has no problems accelerating and usually drives fine until it stalls. The car is currently in the shop, no check engine light, no codes, no answers. I should not have to fear driving my car. So if there is anyone out there with answers please help!!!!!!!! I have only had the car for 9 months and owe to much to trade it in. But after reading all these comments I think I should contact a lawyer.
Update from Jun 8, 2009: Well after months of torment I finally got my answer. First the dealership had me replace plugs and wires and one of the coils. The car was fine for a few days and it stalled again. So another trip to the dealership. The tech did some research after I talked to him about the horrific ordeal, And he told me "It seems to be a wide spread problem with this model (stalling) and replacing the crank sensor seems to fix the problem." And they did the work for free and it has been smooth sailing since. Four months later the car still runs like a champ!!!
