| The stalling problem has existed since we bought the car. the dealer said they spoke to the manufacturer's engineer, but, he too was unable to correct the problem. the dealers washed his hands. the manufacturer too wouldn't response. so we gave up. but heard of a recent law suit in california. would like your advice. although the car has a lot of mileage but we have been involved in near misses several times. we try to avoid congested raods and roads where we could get trapped. thank you for your anticipated prompt response. | |||
