| Engine stalls: engine stalls randomly, at a light, around a corner, and even on freeway at 70 mph. engine will not restart after a stall until the key has been removed from the ignition. i have had at least 15-20 stalls since i have owned the vehicle. transmission jerks: this started in the last few months. transmission disengages while driving down the road then suddenly reengages, jerking the car forward. sometimes the car will continue ok, sometimes the engine will die. electrical issues: not a safety issue but maybe related, i have had numerous problems with my nav system going dark (won't display until engine restarted) - lost settings. rear dvd has totally gone out. dealer says there is a code for lost communication with radio due to an open short. last incident: 04/11/2012 (51000 miles): on interstate 75 mph - took foot off the accelerator to slow down and felt like the engine had died (lost momentum and was coasting). i applied the gas and the rpm's o the engine increased but the car did not gain speed. felt like transmission had disengaged. the car jerked forward like the transmission reengaged. momentum was returned for about 1 second then disengaged again. the second time, the engine died and i had to coast to the side of the interstate. car restarted and i was able to continue down the road. after driving for another 3 hours, the service 4wd message came up on the display. pulled to the side of the road, turned the car off and back on, same message came up. continued driving to my destination - message cleared. after the car sat in the parking lot for several hours, went back out and started it, the message was gone and has not reappeared. dealer had car 6 days - there are no codes in the system. they can not duplicate issue. vehicle dying on freeway is very dangerous and i have small children, please investigate. | |||
