Consumer Description

MY CAR KEEPS RANDOMLY TURNING OFF WHILE I'M AT A STOP OR WAITING AT A RED LIGHT. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS WAITING AT A RED LIGHT & THEN I TRIED TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN AFTER IT TURNED GREEN AND IN THE MIDDLE OF ME TRYING TO TURN IT TURNED OFF. THANK HIS THERE WERE NO CARS AROUND OR ELSE SOMETHING COULD HAVE HAPPENED. RANDOM PEDESTRIANS HELPED ME PUSH THE CAR OUT OF THE WAY. & AFTER TRYING TO RESTART IT FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTE SIT FINALLY STARTED. THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED WAS THE VERY NEXT DAY. I WAS WAITING AT A RED LIGHT AND IT JUST TURNED OFF. BUT IT STARTED BACK UP RIGHT AWAY. THE THIRD TIME & THIS WAS YESTERDAY, I GOT TO WORK AND I WAS IN THE PARKING LOT. MY CAR WAS PARKED BUT STILL RUNNING AND IT TURNED OFF. IT WOULDN'T START BACK UP UNTIL ABOUT 15 LATER. SOMETIMES IT WILL START BACK RIGHT AWAY & OTHER TIMES I HAVE TO WAIT FOR 15/20 MINUTES OR MORE AND TRY AGAIN AND IT WILL START. I'VE DONE A DIAGNOSTICS TEST & BATTERY CHECK. EVERYTHING COMES BACK GOOD. NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. I'M NOT SURE IF YOU GUYS HAVE RECEIVED ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT CAN SOMEONE PLEASE CONTACT ME. I'VE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM FOR ABOUT A MONTH NOW.
