ON 9.19.2019 MY WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING AND THE ENGINE STALLED 3 TIMES WHILE DRIVING. IT STARTED EVERY TIME WITHOUT PROBLEMS, IT DID NOT STALL AGAIN ON THE RETURN TRIP. THE TRIP WAS ABOUT 50 MILES EACH WAY. OVER THE LAST 3 YEARS I HAD ENGINE STARTING PROBLEMS 5 TIMES, MOSTLY ON HOT DAYS AND WHEN STOPPING FOR A SHORT PERIOD, E.G. STOPPING FOR GAS, AFTER WAITING FOR +- 10 MINUTES THE ENGINE STARTED NORMALLY. THE 'ENGINE CHECK' LIGHT HAS BEEN ON AND OFF FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF OBTAINING REPAIR INFORMATION.
