Vehicle will stall without prior warning. When at stop light consumer would put vehicle in neutral. Dealership was aware of the problem. Dealer stated ignition system had shorted out resulting in spark plugs being burned, dealer replaced the ignition switch and spark plugs, consumer states there are still problems and now the engine is misfiring, consumer stated there was a recall regarding the ignition switch problems, however dealer informed that this VIN is not included. Fan belt replaced. Front and rear brake pads replaced.
