| Engine stalls at stops and cuts off while car is in motion which causes steering column to lock, making car uncontrollable. the last time i went across oncoming traffic lane. (thank god no cars were coming toward me!!) this is a life-threatening problem because i never know when the car is going to cut off. what is wrong?? is this one of the problems being addressed in the class-action suit for tempo's? in addition, the brake light is constantly on while driving, but goes off when i brake??*ak | |||
