Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING UP A STEEP HILL ON A BLIND CORNER IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD TODAY WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME MY ESCAPE SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS ACCELERATING. IT STALLED FIVE OTHER TIMES IN THE PAST, EACH AS I CAME TO A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT. THE INCIDENTS ARE COMPLETELY RANDOM WITH NO WARNING, SO I HAVE NO IDEA IF NEXT TIME WILL BE AT A RED LIGHT OR ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 55 MPH. WHEN IT SHUTS OFF I NOTICED THAT THE DASH FLASHES THE BATTERY AND OIL LIGHTS, BUT THE BATTERY IS NEW AND THE OIL IS FINE. I ALSO NOTICED THAT WHEN I'M IDLING IN BELOW FREEZING WEATHER THE ENGINE WILL SHUDDER, SOMETIMES VIOLENTLY, BUT EVENTUALLY STOPS WHEN I START MOVING AGAIN. *TR
