UPON ACCELERATING ONTO THE HIGHWAY, AFTER REACHING HIGHWAY SPEED, VEHICLE STALLS AND WOULD NOT START. FLOODING ENGINE, GASOLINE COMING OUT OF EXHAUST, ENGINE WOULD NOT RESTART. AFTER RESEARCH AND REPLACING LEAKING LOWER INTAKE MANIFOLD, THIS WAS NOT MY PROBLEM THERE WAS NO LEAK. AFTER MORE RESEARCH I REPLACED MORE SENSORS AND EVENTUALLY CYLINDER GASKETS AND LOWER INTAKE GASKET AGAIN. STILL ENGINE WOULD NOT START. AFTER 2 YEARS OF CAR SITTING I UNPLUGGED MAF SENSOR AND THEN IT STARTED FINALLY. FAULTY MAF SENSOR BUT NO WAY TO FIND OUT UNLESS IT IS UNPLUGGED BECAUSE SENSOR DID NOT GIVE OFF ANY PERTAINING FAULT CODE POINTING TO THE PROBLEM SPECIFICALLY. *TR

I HAVE BEEN INFORMED BY MY DAUGHTER-IN-LAW THAT HER MOTHER DOES NOT BUCKLE HER AND HER SISTER UP. SHE ALSO ALLOWS THEM TO RIDE ON THE FRONT SEAT. MIND YOU THE TWO GIRLS ARE ONLY 4 AND 5 YEARS OF AGE. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO SOCIAL SERVICES ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS . ALSO THE MOTHER DRIVES WITHOUT A LICENSE AND NO INSURANCE. SHE LIVES IN MILWAUKEE WISCONSIN AND IT SEEMS THAT NO ONE CARES ABOUT KIDS THERE. ALSO THE SHE BOUGHT IT AT HAS BEEN TRYING TO GET IT BACK SINCE SHE HASN'T PAID ON THE NOTE SINCE APRIL. THE GRANDMOTHER HAS CALLED SOCIAL SERVICES ABOUT THIS AS WELL AND AGAIN WE FEEL NO ONE CARES. SHE HAS DONE THIS ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND I'M REALLY CONCERNED FOR HER SAFETY! *JS
