Now i know this is a ford site but if i ask the 'other' side ill get hate mail for the next month or two. Long storey short...bout 2 years ago my mum, even though i told her not to, brought a VS commodore, it brought shame on the family (hehe). Anyway..she brought it cos of the 'nice' color and the fact that it was duel fuel. Now I now that holden and gas dont mix, but she didn't.
Anyway, this problem has happened two times while ive been driving and once with her and its bloody dangereous!!
It only happens when on gas, and when its happened to me, I will be braking to turn into a street, so rpm is bout 2000 or so. Then just as i was about to turn into the corner the bloody thing stalls and cuts out!! Being an automatic that means the power steering cuts out and you have no control except for braking.
Luckly I live in a fairly rural town so on these occassions there was no traffic coming the other way, but I went straight off the road into someones nature strip on the other side!!
Has anyone else heard of this? Cos let me tell u its not a nice feeling
