My car stalled again on july 26th. In this instance, I was on the freeway driving on the on-ramp between 5-10 MPH. My car stalled completely, however, this time the electrical was still on. I panicked because I was still moving in traffic. Thank god I was able to break in time and restart my car on the first attempt because I could've gotten into an accident very easily with cars directly in front and behind me. I was told at the last service that all recalls were completed on the vehicle.
