ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
DRIVING 55 MPH ON THE EXPRESS WAY AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. THE CAR STALLED UNTIL IT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE ESP LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. RESTARTED THE CAR AND PROBLEM CONTINUE 4 TIMES. AFTER THE 4TH ATTEMPT, I MANAGED TO GET THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER WAITING SEVERAL MINUTES, I RESTARTED THE CAR. THE CAR STILL FEEL AT TIMES AS IF ITS GOING TO STALL. *TR

ENGINE
THIS DOES NOT REFER TO ANY SPECIFIC INCIDENT. AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR I BEGAN TO NOTICE THAT WHEN I ACCELERATED FROM A STOP, THE CAR ALWAYS SURGED AHEAD AFTER A FRACTION OF A SECOND. I WAS TOLD THAT THE TURBOCHARGER ON THE 2 LITER ENGINE "SPOOLED" AT 1600 RPMS AND CAUSED THE SURGE. IT IS A VERY UNCOMFORTABLE FEELING TO FIND THE CAR SURGING AHEAD WHEN YOU JUST TOUCH THE GAS PEDAL SLIGHTLY. WHEN YOU'RE STOPPED IN BACK OF ANOTHER CAR, THE CAR SURGES AHEAD AND YOU HAVE TO BE VERY WARY OF "REAR ENDING THE OTHER CAR. UNFORTUNATELY, IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS SURGE IS A NORMAL PART OF THE TURBOCHARGER, BUT IT CREATES A DEFINITE POSSIBILITY OF A SLOW SPEED COLLISION. *TR
