Purchased 2005 Black Gallardo 6spd cream interior, - in Nov 2005. S/N ...02577. Did not start driving this car until the weather cleared up in mid January 2006.
Problem usually occurs after driving for more than an hour. Car stalls when idling or coming to a stop. (best described by member: Doctor E 6-15-2005)

"just got new 2005 gallardo,manual transmission, black with essentially tan interior. car is awesome. my car will rarely stall when in neutral and coasting to a stop(mostly after 20-30 min of driving). my dealer assures me the 2005 has an upgraded clutch and that many of the other issues with the early cars(ie idling problems,coil pack water, etc.) have been corrected. is this true? should i baby this clutch or can i drive and depend on this car like i could the last 7 porsches i have had. i want this car to be better than my 911 turbo, it certainly cost more. i would appreciate any advice on this car. lastly does the 2005 have slightly more hp than the 2004. my handbook says 500 hp but i have seen reports of the 2004 with 493hp. thanks"
Lamborghini Vancouver - work done. Changed coil packs, 6 downloads/uploads of new firmware, new clutch & some new gasket or seal. My car has been in the shop every month since January (sometimes twice) to try to fix this problem.
Called Lamborghini in Toronto - spoke to Alex. He then discussed problem with my dealer. Gave it HIGH priority for the first month. Then when my problem came back after they gave it their BEST shot, I called him back (left 5 messages). He seems to aviod my calls now.
I am Extremely dissapointed after spending $250k on a brand new car. Just drove it again on Sunday - stalled twice. Having a poor Lamborghini ownership experience.
Since lamborghini canada seems to avoid me. I have resorted to posting on this site.
