Caller says vehicle stalled. The lights on the dashbord came on and the vehicle died. This has happened 6 times, she did not know when it will happen. It stalled at any speed and under any condition. Dealer and manufacturer have not been contacted yet. The caller said the gas gauge malfunctioned, and there was a recall on other years of model. The gas gauge would show full and go down to empty and back up to full, now it will not move at all.
