While driving, the vehicle suddenly loses all power while in motion on city streets and stalls. On occasion, the vehicle will stall while at a stop light during the daily drive. Sometimes, the car can restart normally, sometimes the restart IS rough and the car shakes, and sometimes the car will not start immediately (one occasion required a wait time of approximately 30 minutes). The vehicle has been maintained over the years and when it runs, it runs fine. Once the intermittent stalling began, the vehicle was taken to two different shops, neither of which could diagnose the problem (the vehicle did not stall while in park, engine running, vehicle not in motion). Error codes did indicate that the map sensor should be replaced, and it was replaced, but the stalling problem persists. The stalling problem occurred once in 2017, and has become more frequent in 2018, occurring at least once per day. The stall may occur in the first few minutes of driving, or at 15 minutes into the drive, or at 45 minutes into the drive: the timing of the stall and the characteristics of the stall being inconsistent. There IS no suggestive pattern. As it stands today, the car IS unsafe to drive, and the repair to return the vehicle to safe operation IS unknown.

Have been numerous complaints on the intake manifold exploding and catching fire. As this same thing happen to me, sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen. mine just happen to be in the drive way, when I went to start it I saw smoke. So I turned it off, looked under hood didn't see anything. Went to start it a few days later and I heard a really loud pop, followed by smoke. I quickly turned to off position. Opened my hood and sure enough the manifold had exploded. What if I would have been driving? Could have caused deaths to others or even myself, if it wasn't contained. Not everyone carries a fire extinguisher!!!!
