Consumer Description
I'VE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY CAR STALLING OUT. IT BEGAN ON 11/10/17 WHEN I STARTED THE CAR. I DROVE ABOUT 500 FEET PULLING UP TO A STOP SIGN AND THE CAR STALLED OUT BUT ALL ELECTRICAL STAYED ON (I.E. RADIO). I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND IT DROVE FINE FOR A WHILE. THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN LATER ON THE SAME DAY. THE FOLLOWING DAY IT HAPPENED IN THE SAME WAY AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT. I TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT DROVE WELL FOR A WHILE. LATER THAT EVENING IT HAPPENED AGAIN ALSO PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT. I DID NOT DRIVE THE CAR AGAIN TILL THE FOLLOWING MORNING. THE CAR DROVE WELL FOR 2 DAYS. UNTIL TODAY 11/15/17. IT TURNED ON IN THE MORNING. I GOT TO MY DESTINATION. PARKED THE CAR. CAME BACK ABOUT A HALF HOUR LATER AND I WAS PULLING OUT OF THE PARKING LOT ONLY DRIVING ABOUT 500 FEET WHEN THE CAR STALLED OUT AGAIN. I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON IT DROVE TO MY NEXT DESTINATION ABOUT 40 MINUTES AWAY. IT DID NOT FEEL AS IF IT WAS RUNNING AS SMOOTHLY AS USUAL. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR AS I LIVE IN A CITY AND TAKE HIGHWAYS EVERYWHERE. I WOULD HATE FOR MY CAR TO STALL OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY AND CAUSE MYSELF AND OTHERS TO GET IMMENSELY HURT.
