The car would die when you stopped or attempted to slow down.
The rear left blinker bulb went out a month after I bought it.
The keyless entry stopped working and had to be reprogrammed three times.
The odometer stopped working and just read error.
The car wouldn't crank and shut down and the computer wouldn't reprogram.
All of this happened the first year I had the car!!!
I had to take this car to the shop so many times that I started asking for brochures on the lemon laws in my state. Everytime I picked it up something else went wrong. The problem ended up being the mechanics instead of the car.
The computer was bad in the car and was causing different systems to shut down. I kept asking if it was the computer, but oh no, that was impossible. Finally, I was told the car was safe to drive and it wouldn't crank after I left the dealer, and had to have it towed back, the dealer decided to order a new computer. Since then I haven't had any problems. The car runs great, gets good gas mileage, is stylish, and I love it!!
Was this your first manual transmission car? It sounds like you aren't shifting quick enough or leaving you foot on the clutch too long, which is why it could be stalling between shifts.
