As I am driving down the road, on a city street. The vehicle will just shut off, for no apparent reason. It does this several times. Every time the car is been driven it will shut off several times and me and my family have been in traffic when this has occurred. It continues to do this at any speed and every time the car is driven. Can't drive the car not even a mile before it totally shuts off.

While deiving a message on the dash stated to stop while it is safe. The car proceded to stall. It could not be started. I happen to be in the middle of the road and required to call for help to push the vehicle to the side. I was able to start the car later that day to drive it home. This is the forth time it happened over an 18 month period. I was very lucky that I was not in heavy traffic or on a high speed road during any of these events. I did have the car to a repair shop after the last time it happened and described the problem to the mchanic. Repairs were made but nothing to do with this problem. This is definitely a safety issue and it appears that it has been reported many times. I do not understand why there has not been a recall on this issue. I don't know what to do at this time or whether I should continue using the vehicle.

Pushed the gas pedal down and it wouldn't move. After several minutes it freed up and was able to go down the road. Then it locked up again. Eventually made it home, approximately 4 miles after it locked up 5 times.

I have had the fuel line replace and now I have to have the throttle body replaced. The mechanic said for both parts - they were defective parts. I can not press on the gas to accelerate. At times this happens while I am driving which can cause an accident.
