ENGINE QUIT WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT 65 MPH. NO PRIOR WARNING. LOST POWER ASSIST IN STEERING AND BRAKES. WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER VEHICLE TO SIDE OF ROAD. WAS ABLE TO RESTART VEHICLE AND PROCEED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THIS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING TO DEALERSHIP FOR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. THIS IS ONLY ONE MORE OF NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE.*AK

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING ON THE EXPRESSWAY WHEN SUDDENLY THE CAR SEEMED TO "STALL" ALTHOUGH IT NEVER ACTUALLY STALLED OUT, BUT RPMS DROPPED TO 800-1000 AND WOULD NOT RESPOND TO ANY THROTTLE ACTION . AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF, WAITING AND STARTING AGAIN, THE PROBLEM THEN RESURFACED ABOUT A HALF MILE LATER. I WAS AGAIN ABLE TO PULL OFF, RESTART THE CAR AND CONTINUE NORMALLY. ONCE IN A SAFE LOCATION (WORK), I WAS ABLE TO CONNECT A OBD-II READER TO THE CAR AND FOUND THE FOLLOWING: P2112: TAC SYSTEM STUCK CLOSED RUNNING A GOOGLE SEARCH OF THE ABOVE ERROR GAVE MANY MANY ARTICLES POINTING TO A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE. THIS ISSUE WAS PRECEDED BY THE CAR RANDOMLY STALLING OUT (THIS TIME ACTUAL STALLS). THESE HAPPENED AT VERY RANDOM INTERVALS FOR APPROX. 2-3 WEEKS BEFORE THE EXPRESSWAY ISSUE. *TR
