What owners wrote
The car stalled out since the first day I bought it (jan. 1, 2008). It is now august 2014 and I still have this problem, except now it's a much more dangerous and bigger problem. If I go slow or stop to turn in the middle of an intersection, it stalls out. I almost got hit/killed today. The terrible part about it is that I've been complaining about this from day 1. Every time I take it to the dealership, they can never find the problem.
Every single time I fill up the tank, it runs a very short distance from the gas station and starts to buck and jolt like it wants to shut off. When the car stalls out, the steering wheel locks up and the brakes lose power. Very dangerous!
