While driving, engine goes to idle mode and can't accelerate. i have to shift to neutral and back to drive to again drive normally, then problem happens again and have to do the same continuously every few miles while driving.

After the car warms up it will stall while driving and when coming to a stop to idle.sometimes it will not start immediately after stalling. this is a safety hazard and could cause an accident. we have also had multiple problems with the alignment due to the wheel bearings. *tr
