Brand new car that after three weeks of ownership stalled in the middle of the road. Dealership replaced air sensors, car stalled again. Finally determined fuel pump was bad and replaced fuel pump from a car on the lot, car stalled again. Fuel pump replaced with new fuel pump, car still stalling. Have brought car in 7 times now and am now being told to go home with the car because they don't want to look at it. *tr

First time it happened, i took it to the dealer they had an error code, said a sensor had went out. Car worked fine for less than 24 hours, i was on a major highway and the car just sputtered and wouldn't go over 5 miles an hour. I spent 20 minutes dodging traffic trying to get off the highway…
