I have had the vehicle for almost two years and have notice an increase in the number of stalls over the past few months. Have not yet had the vehicle looked at due to…

It happens totally at random, sometimes it will happen multiple times a day, sometimes it will go months in between incidents. No accidents have occurred as of yet, but there have been many near misses, especially when driving on windy roads, when lack of power steering is a…
