Description of the problem | Vehicle stalls (dies out) while driving. Owner finds out about recall item as probable reason for vehicle stall. Owner contacts the vehicle manufacturer, which represents that recall item remedy was completed on a given date. Owner asks for information on who reported that the recall item was remedied. Vehicle manufacturer stated that information was not available. Owner disagrees that remedy on the recall item was completed, then checks with the local dealer (the only one in town).
