The car started fine after that. Four days later, after a 45 min. Dentist apppointment, my car would not start. After 15 minutes of troubleshooting, it suddenly started. I have been encountering these same problems ever since.”
NHTSA complaint #10003301, filed 2003-01, 152,000 miles“My 1993 Geo Storm has started stopping running while being driven and leaving me stranded. It is currently in the shop and appears to have a bad ECM. Sources on the internet indicate this is an inherent problem in the model car.”
NHTSA complaint #10078816, filed 2004-06, 80,000 miles“93 Geo Storm randomly stalls and will not restart for several minutes to several hours.

NHTSA complaint #10018736, filed 2003-05, 130,000 miles“I've had the electronic control module replaced three times with a rebuilt one in the last year by auburn chevrolet of auburn, wa. This is an intermittent problem where the rpms change up and down on there own and the engine usually shuts down. No fault indications are displayed. It seems to happen more often with changing temperatures. I almost got in an accident twice, once on the freeway and once in an intersection.”
NHTSA complaint #742359, filed 2001-03“My 1993 Geo Storm has been stalling lately. It is totally sporadic and does it when I am pulling out, when it is idling, and when I am on a freeway going along at a constant speed. This has put me in a very serious situation a number of times and has severely shaken me. It will stall in the middle of an intersection, and luckily all 6 times this happened no one was coming either way. I no longer drive my car, and I am afraid to sell it due to the fact this will happen to someone else. …”
