“My car has been stalling during various speeds which almost caused an accident on several occasion. After stalling, I am able to start the car without any issues but will constantly stall on the go. There is currently a recall (NHTSA # 13v-093) on the vehicle's ecu for the eastern u.s. Due to corrosion. My car is currently in guam which could highly have the same result as this recall due to salt water corrosion. Please look into this matter and possibly extend the recall to other parts of the state and territories within the coastal areas.”
