| Description of the problem | Vehicle stalls when coming to a rapid stop. The rpm plumets during the stopping action and does not recover in time, therefore causing the engine to stall. The vehicle does not have to be traveling particularly fast either. 15mph or above will cause this to happen. It does not occur all the time, but the frequency does increase over time. It is believed that this is a problem with the cvt torque converter. |
