Consumer Description

VEHICLE SHUDDERS AND STALLS OUT WHEN COMING TO A STOP AND/OR SLOWING DOWN. THE VEHICLE MUST BE PUT BACK INTO PARK AND RESTARTED BEFORE IT WILL MOVE. THIS HAPPENED TO ME FOUR TIMES TODAY. THIS POSES AN INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS THREAT TO ANYONE IN THIS VEHICLE OR AROUND THIS VEHICLE WHILE IN TRAFFIC. ANYONE IN THIS VEHICLE IS A SITTING DUCK FOR AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL STALL OUT. I AM APPALLED AT THE FACT THAT I HAVE SEEN SO MANY OF THESE SAME ISSUES BE REPORTED AND NOT RECALLED YET. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT MUST BE ADDRESSED...REALLY - DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE OR GET SERIOUSLY INJURED FOR SOMEONE TO TAKE ACTION HERE??
