problem #2

Jul 182005

Park Avenue 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 28,501 miles
Contact states in hot weather 75 degrees or above and within one mile the car will die. Can wait it 10-15 minutes and the car will restart. Had this problem for the last 3 summers. It usually happened in slow traffic, but consumer did not get out on the interstate very much; but was concerned that if he did. The car would die in heavy traffic. Took it to the dealer, and they said they could not find anything wrong with it. They suggested that it may be the fuel pump or the sensor in the crank case. The service engine light sometimes cam eon.. the car has less than 30,000 miles on it. He has not talked to the manufacturer.
