Check your power steering pump. Sometimes when they go out, they lock up and the belt for that is connected to the drivetrain somehow. Mine went out once and shreaded the belt. Just a guess. May be a fuel filter as well. Unfortunately,when RelandR said about sensors is too true. It could be something as simple as a bad oxygen sensor telling the engine to mix the fuel wrong - go any smoke? Do you have emission testing where you are? Any funny gassy smells (…that may have been me…sorry 😊 ) or buning smells? If all else fails - sledgehammer works wonders!! Good luck! ---

Well well well. I basically got sold a \*\*\*\* box. It needs a $600 dollar brake job. i’m taking this car back, and i’m getting my money back. If they don’t give me my money back. I’m getting a lawyer. ---

The brakes won’t cause the car to stall… But in any case I would take it back, sounds like the car has the potential to be very costly. Cheers! -Niann [Previous page](https://forum.kirupa.com/t/i-need-advice-car-issues/27194.md?page=1)
