There is a recall for this problem, but have to pay for fixing it. I am on disability already. Every time the gas cuts out, it scares the bajeezus out of me, i have to kick start it or keep pressing the pedal to the metal to get it back running right again. this can happen 20 times in an afternoon. by the time I get home, sometimes I don't, I am frazzled, but cannot afford another vehicle. i live in the sticks in the rainforest. not a good place to get stranded!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
