Car stops accelerating while driving then dies. Been going on since August and have not been able to find the problem. Generating numerous communication errors. Had the computer replaced thought this was the problem but it did not fix the issue. The first time this happened was 8/5/03 and it was in the shop for a week with no resolution. It ran for a couple more days then did it again the following week around 8/11/03. This went on through August in and out of the shop at which time I rented a car to get back and forth to work since the problem was gradually getting worse and being broken down on the freeway was getting to be a dangerous problem. The computer was replaced on 10/22/03 and it died when I drove off. Car has been towed 3 times due to not starting right back up and being stranded on the freeway. It has been in the shop for over a week as of today 10/29/03 and dealer is telling me that it is the oxygen sensors but cannot guarantee the work.
