What owners wrote

Two hours after vehicle had been parked, vehicle caught on fire. Suspected to have originated with the ignition.

May 1996 Fire

While drving the vehicle, the engine just quits. There is no stuttering, stalling, or engine misfires, it quietly just quits. The radio, heater fan, and brake lights still work. I was driving on the freeway in morning traffic going 70MPH and the tachometer and speedometer went to zero and the engine quite. A second later the engine restarts. This happened twice on the freeway. I also have trouble running the car. It will start but not run. To have the engine continue to run the key needs to be forced forward.
