What owners wrote
Engine stalled while driving at highway speed, started surging, running very rough and would not go any faster than about 15 MPH. The vehicle was stopped and shut off. After a few minutes the vehicle was started and seemed to run normally. The vehicle ran normally until 10/05/2012 when it stalled and ran very rough again. At this time the vehicle was being driven to the local dealer for a check. While waiting for a call back from the dealer the vehicle was restarted and seem to run normally again.
While driving in heavy traffic in center lane of three line highway. Vehicle suddenly lost power creating a emergency situation. I had to force traffic to allow me proceed to side of the road. Endangering myself and my family, I sat for about 30 min. Before I could move the vehicle.
