December 1995

While driving down highway vehicle stalled several times. I feel this is very unsafe and could have caused an accident.

Reported at 67,380 miles, November 2011

Vehicle stopped running at 65 MPH. Dashboard lights did not come on. On the side of the road (where I was able to pull off the highway) it finally re-started. I brought the vehicle home. When I attempted to make another trip, the same thing happened. I was less than a mile from my home. I eventually was able to restart. The final outcome was that the ignition switch was the problem. I called the dealership and they advised me that my vehicle was not part of the recall.
