Consumer Description

I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AT AN INTERSECTION (CAME TO A HARD STOP) AFTER DECELERATION AND THE ENGINE HESITATED, THEN STALLED/STOPPED COMPLETELY. I MUST PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTART THE ENGINE TO REMEDY THE STALL. THIS HAS OCCURRED 4 TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK. IN TWO SITUATIONS, THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME HAD STARTED TO ACCELERATE, BUT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT IN MOTION BECAUSE I MUST PUT THE CAR IN '(P)ARK' TO RESTART THE CAR. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE THE CAR STOPS SO ABRUPTLY.
