“I was driving on the highway on my way home from work and all a sudden the check engine light came on and the car shut down and the RPM dropped. I couldn't steer or anything. There was no warning or nothing luckily I was able to drift slowly to the side and there wasn't no serious accident. …”
NHTSA complaint #10557186, filed 2013-12, 125,000 miles“Filled gas tank at station. Drove .25 mile and vehicle stalled while accelerating from a stop light. Stalled 3 more times within the next mile. I parked car and shut it off. Restarted 30 minutes later and drove about 1.5 miles and it stalled again while pulling into a parking lot. No problems until I filled up at a different gas station 5 days later. It stalled again after pulling out of the station. It always starts right up.”

I have had the trans shifter replaced, as well as had the car re-flashed several times to no avail, and with no apparent solution in site. …”
NHTSA complaint #10523579, filed 2013-07, 13,000 miles“My vehicle is well taken care of but recently I have had the engine stall while running when I come to a stop like on a turning lane, at a stop sign, a signal light. This would happen when the car comes to a stop while running. What I have noticed is that as I slow down for a stop the idle RPM's drop down low and make the car stall and the engine stops. If I feel there is a safety concern I'll put the car in neutral and rev the engine to keep the RPM's from dropping out and stalling. …”
