I know this has been discussed, but I didnt see the thread anymore so Im posting here.
Our car, when coming to a light or stopsign, sometimes acts as though its going to die. The car is so quiet it's sometimes hard to tell, but you can hear/feel it trying to buck off it's idle. Yesterday I was pulling into a parking spot ( in front of my parents who know we just purchased the car and LOVE it so it was embarassing) and it died on me. Our car now has 830 miles on it. The bizarre part is that the car didnt do this early on but has just now started. I thought some of the other folks had trouble with this when they first got their cars and it went away...ours was fine early on, but now it seems to be getting quirky. It's not dying all the time, its only actually died once, but yesterday it was acting like it was going to die quite alot.
Also, when I first drove the car yesterday it was driving poorly, as if it were "missing". It was running so poorly that I took it out of gear and coasted to the side of the road. It did this for half a block and then straightened out. I had the air on, so I thought maybe it was because it wasnt completely warmed up yet AND I had the air on. I turned the air off and sat by the side of the road for a bit and revved the motor a little bit and it got better which is when I took off and it seemed fine.
Anyone else ( closer to their dealer) experienced this?
