THERE HAVE BEEN APPROXIMATELY 15 INCIDENTAS WERE THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED, WHILE BEING DRIVEN OR WHEN ATTEMPTING TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR TURN. THE VEHICLEHAS TWO METHODS OF STALLING - THE FIRST METHOD IS BE IDLING VERY ROUGH - AS IF MISS FIRING ON A CYLINDER/ TIMING ISSUES WHERE IT BLOWS BLACK SMOKE. THE SECOND METHOD IS IF YOU ARE STOPPED WITH YOUR FOOT HOPEFULLY ON THE BRAKE - THE VEHICLE WILL REV UP AND LURCH FORWARD - IF ON THE BRAKE IT WILL SOMETIMES THEN STALL. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE SHOP AT LEAST 4 TIMES - WITH MULTIPLE INCIDENTS PER VISIT, THE SHOP HAD REPLACED THE EGR VALVE AND HAD REPROGRAMMED THE PCM EVERYTIME IN THE SHOP. WHICH TAKES ME BACK TO LOUSY FUEL ECONOMY AND HAS NOT YET FIXED THE PROBLEM. I AM NOT HAPPY.
