This vehicle just turns off during driving - stalls out at any time. Had the vehicle towed into dealership 2 times, only to drive off both times and break down. It's in the shop now for the third time. They said it was the fuel pump (replaced, still stalls), then the catalytic converters (replaced, still stalls), now the wiring harness. Too dangerous to drive this car. They don't have a clue what's wrong. I'm scared to drive it after I've been virtually run over when the engine cuts off.
