Consumer Description

ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING AND ATTEMPTING TO STOP, THE ENGINE STALLS. A MESSAGE DISPLAYS TO "PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, TO START", BUT LOST POWER TO EVERYTHING ELSE. TWICE IT ALLOWED ME TO START FROM PARK, THE 3RD TIME IT WOULD NOT START. I PUT IT IN PARK, HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, BUT IT DID NOTHING. I SHUT IF OFF COMPLETELY, THEN TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT STARTED. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE PARKED, THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT UNLOCK WITH THE KEYFOB. ALL OTHER DOORS UNLOCKED, NOT THE DRIVER'S DOOR. I TRIED SEVERAL TIMES LOCKING/UNLOCKING, I HAD TO OPEN THE REAR DOOR AND MANUALLY PULL THE LOCK KNOB. ONE OTHER TIME, WHILE SITTING STILL, THE DRIVER'S DOOR UNLOCKED ITSELF, WHEN MY ROOMMATE PULLED ON THE DOOR HANDLE, THE DOOR OPENED AND THE ALARM WENT OFF. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, I WAS TRYING TO BACK INTO MY PARKING SPACE, I WENT TO PULL UP TO STRAIGHTEN OUT, AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO INTO DRIVE. I HAD TO SHIFT INTO PARK, THEN BACK TO DRIVE TO MAKE IT WORK.
