| Description of the problem | Suv engine stalled 7/3/2005 going 65 mph without warning; suv restarted after stall. Suv engine stalled again 7/22/2005 going 45 mph without warning; suv did not restart after stall. Towed to dealer. The dealer found nothing wrong with vehicle and said cause was water that spilled during the incident however water spilled because of incident not before. Suv had stalled 3 weeks prior and no water was involved. I am scared to drive this vehicle for fear it will stall and i will get hit from behind causing bodily injury or death. Please help if you can. Thank you. |
