“After owning the new vehicle from 2001 until 2003, the vehicle ran perfect. However, after that time I noticed a serious problem with the vehicle loping while sitting idle at stop lights/stop signs with it in drive with the headlights and AC on. Even though I turn the lights and AC off and try it, the problem still occurs.
