“For years now, the vehicle will stall while driving. It can happen in town or on highways. At times it will start right back up and is drivable. Other times it needs to sit for 15-20 minutes before being able to start and drive the vehicle, although sometimes it will start after a short time, but sputter and stall again when putting the vehicle in drive.
