Upon acceleration the vehicle had a tendency to stall or when accelerating to pass. This has been an ongoing scenario, however it does not happen all the time. We have taken it to the dealership several times, and were told that their machine does not show any defective parts. What is frustrating is when you want to blend into traffic the car might stall, so you have to be extra careful that this does not happen. I…

With the speed control engaged and while pressing the deceleration switch on the turn signal arm to slow the vehicle down, the speed unexpectedly increases. Each press of the deceleration switch normally causes the speed to be reduced by 1 mile per hour. The first few presses cause the vehicle to decelerate as it should, but occasionally on the third or fourth press the speed jumps back up by 2 or 3 mile per hour.…
