Consumer Description

THE ENGINE PERIODICALLY WILL STALL FOR 2-3 SECONDS, USUALLY WHEN STARTING A LEFT TURN FROM A STOP. THIS CAN PROVE HAZARDOUS IN A BUSY INTERSECTION. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR 12 OCTOBER 2015. THE DEALER STATED THE "HESITATION" WAS A NORMAL FUNCTION OF THE ENGINE COMPUTER'S "ACCLIMATION" TO THE DRIVER. IT HASN'T ADJUSTED TO ME, AND I'M AFRAID TO LET MY WIFE OR DAUGHTER DRIVE THE CAR.
