THE ENGINE STALLED AFTER DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. STALLING OCCURS MORE OFTEN WHEN I HAVE BEEN IN TRAFFIC FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THEN SLOWING DOWN TO STOP IN TRAFFIC THEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE HAS CAUSE THE CAR TO STALL ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE CENTER WAS TOLD ABOUT THE ISSUE. THEY CLAIMED THAT IT WAS A SOFTWARE PROBLEM. THE SOFTWARE WAS UPDATED AND THE ISSUE STOPPED FOR A BIT. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 3 WEEKS THE STALLING HAPPENED AGAIN. *TR
