| As near as i can tell, the problem is related to one or more tsbs that have been issued. but it appears to be specifically related to tsb #676303 - phantom stalls at closed throttle and high engine load. this problem poses a serious safety threat. in detail what happens is that the engine stalls when you approach an intersection and are shifting down, using brakes, and turning. when the engine quits in a turn, the power steering quits. anyone with slow reactions or lacking the physical strength to steer the car without power is in for a serious accident. the problem is especially troubling because it is intermittent. my mechanic says we'll just have to wait until it quits completely to find out what it is. i certainly believe that any defect such as this is an extreme hazard to the driver and passengers of this car as well as anyone else on the streets at the time. | |||
