What owners wrote
Car was stalling and shutting off. Had my daughter in the car. Couldn't start the car after 3 attempts. Then after waiting a good 3 minutes started the car and revved the engine at 4000 RPM and everything seemed back to normal. Dealer hasn't been able to duplicate.
When filling up with gas - pump clicks off every few seconds. Takes a long time to fill tank at a very low rate of flow. Makes it easy to overflow! My mechanic says something is faulty with the gas tank.
