While driving at 65mph on freeway vehicle stalled. Finally restarted. Took it to dealership. Mechanic replaced PCM. Drove from Florida to California, made a stop in Arizona due to brake rotors warping. Replaced and adjusted rotors and brakes. While driving in California, vehicle stalled again. Failed to restart after being parked. Battery replaced after being towed to dealership. Key refused to be released from ignition. Air conditioner motor fan replaced. Shifter cable was replaced. Right turn signal lamp replaced. Oil light comes on before the 3000 mile scheduled oil change, dealer failed to set computer button, consumer feels this might have had to do with vehicle stalling and not starting.
