I was instructed by the service writer to try a higher quality of fuel such as chevron or shell, i had been using costco. After the 3rd fill-up of chevron fuel the vehicle began stalling again. I informed the dealer that i want to leave the vehicle for a few days to allow a tech to drive home in hopes that they witness the issue. While traveling on 07/05/09 i attempted to pass a slower vehicle on a 2 lane road, approximately 1/2 to 3/4 through passing the slower vehicle my vehicle began to stutter/stall, i had to slow abruptly and pull back into the lane behind the slower vehicle in order to avoid a head on collision with oncoming traffic. My wife refuses to drive the vehicle due to the threat of an accident. If the dealer is unable to diagnose and repair the issue on this attempt i will have to start a lemon law claim.
