 Dt*: the contact stated the engine stalled suddenly without warning a total of four times. the vehicle was towed on each incident. the dealership replaced a module on the wiring harness and various other unknown parts, but the problem still persists. on one occasion while attempting to depress the brake, the pedal would not depress. after placing the vehicle in neutral, the brakes worked properly. two months ago the shock on the passenger side fractured. a welding shop determined the problem was a bad weld joint.
