It is not normal for an automatic transmission to occasionally stall. Here are the reasons why an automatic transmission car may occasionally stall: Fuel quality does not meet usage standards: Driving an automatic transmission vehicle is usually simpler and generally does not result in stalling easily. If the fuel quality does not meet usage standards, you should choose a reputable fuel station and fill up with fuel that meets the required octane rating. If the fuel system is obstructed, it is necessary to inspect and repair the engine's fuel system and carbon buildup before driving again to ensure safety. If driving skills are not proficient enough, more practice with the vehicle is needed to find the appropriate driving method. Changes in the car after an automatic transmission occasionally stalls: The steering wheel loses power assistance. After stalling, the power steering pump responsible for providing additional assistance to the steering wheel cannot function, causing both hydraulic and electronic power steering to fail. Therefore, the steering wheel will become heavy instantly after stalling. The brakes also lose power assistance, but compared to the steering assistance, the brake assistance is slightly better as it can maintain one effective assisted braking action after stalling.
