Consumer Description
AT TIMES, I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE ENGINE SHUTTING OFF WHEN I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. IT KIND OF SHUDDERS FIRST AND THEN JUST DIES. IF I'M ABLE TO ROLL THROUGH THE STOP, IT DOESN'T DIE, BUT WHEN I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, SOMETIMES IT JUST DIES. I HAVE TO QUICKLY PUT IT IN PARK OR NEUTRAL AND START IT AGAIN. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS WITH PEOPLE BEHIND ME NOT EXPECTING THAT LONG OF A STOP! I DO A LOT OF DRIVING IN TOWN AND THIS HAPPENS WHEN STOPPING AT STOP SIGNS. IT IS UNKNOWN TO ME AT THIS POINT AS TO WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM.
