Mystique 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 28,000 miles
While driving at any speed, the vehicle stalled in traffic. The vehicle is currently at the dealer. The mechanic was unable to determine or duplicate the problem. The consumer talked to another consumer who experienced the same problem and the problem was with the module that controlled the computer module (possibly the ignition module) and a flight recorder was added and found the intermittent problem. (the problem hadn't been experience since per the consumer who experienced this same problem, not the consumer of this letter)
