My 2012 Vantage has stalled out 3 or 4 times in the past month or so. It seems to always happen when slowing for a stop or low speed turn. The last time scared me because I lost the power steering going into a turn and had to wrench the wheel over to miss the curb. Is this a known issue with a proven fix yet?

 

I had the same problem. The service was not able to find the root cause of the problem... The engine was stalling after getting off gas after some driving.

 

Yeah, that's exactly what mine's doing. It was just a nuisance until the near miss today. Do you know if they tried to re-flash your ECU to fix it?

A friends 2013 S did this an ECU update solved it

 

Thanks for all the info guys. I've booked it in for a service next Monday to look at the stalling and my squeaky brakes. Hopefully the dealer has some experience fixing the engine stalls since it looks like the solutions are a bit varied. Fingers crossed that something like a simple ECU flash will do the job. Anyone know whether the engine and brake fixes should be covered under warranty?

 

Took my 09 DB9 to Star Motorcars in Houston in March for service while still under warranty. One of my items was a complaint about squeaky brakes.

They told me I wasn't using my brakes properly and needed to apply them aggressively several times from high speed to make the squeak go away.

That advice is the only action they took on my brake complaint, they didn't even log it in the service record.

 

Thanks Jeff. I'm sending mine in to Star as well so I'll see if they tell me the same thing on the brakes. If so maybe I'll see if there's anything else I can do such as using anti-squeal paste. Did your brakes get any better?

 

After I did a few panic.stops from 50-60 mph, they were better for a few days, but low speed driving and braking caused the problem to return.

The problem is so bad the security guards at work that check badges as you drive on site, grimace when I pull to a stop and they tell me I need to have my car checked out for safety reasons. It's become an embarassment to drive.

 

Sure it's not the parking brake? I get low speed squealing once in awhile, but if I pull my parking brake on while moving the squeal stops. If I hold it on for awhile while driving slowly, it seems to fix it.

 

I'll check it out
