The engine will randomly stall, has stalled in intersections two times inducing near loss of steering control. I was able to restart after a number of tries. On 10-21-99 I had a mechanic check it out, change filters, clean injectors. The engine still has the random stall feature. Today, when I drove the car home, it died in my driveway. I let it cool down. Restarted it and continued to stall and die as I tried to back out my drive. **note* notice your database has other stall reports---the loss of steering control and the random failures seems dangerous. Please check this out immediately. I'll notify my dealer and also congress & the us senate to find out whether NHTSA has or should have already acted on this possible serious problem.
