Consumer Description

WHILE ROLLING TO A STOP AT A LEFT HAND TURN SIGNAL AUTOMATIC GAS SAVER FEATURE TURNED VEHICLE OFF OR DEFAULTED PRIOR TO THE VEHICLE COMING TO A COMPLETE HALT. AUTOMATIC GAS SAVER FEATURE TURNS ENGINE OFF AT A STOP TO SAVE IDLING EMISSIONS AND FUEL CONSUMPTION. VEHICLE FROZE, BRAKES WERE HARD, STEERING LOCKED AND CAR VERY SLOWLY ROLLED INTO VEHICLE IN FRONT. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY POSSIBLY BECAUSE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY OFF.
