Consumer Description

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE IN TRAFFIC THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN FOR THE "AUTO START" AND FAILED TO RESTART UPON RELEASING THE BRAKE. THE CAR STALLS COMPLETELY OUT AT WHICH POINT I HAVE TO PLACE THE CAR IN PARK AND START IT AGAIN BEFORE PUTTING IT IN DRIVE TO PROCEED. WHILE IN TRAFFIC THIS IS A TERRIBLE HAZARD AS THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, THE CAR BEHIND ME INSTINCTIVELY TOOK OFF AS THE LIGHT CHANGED AND BY ME RELEASING THE BRAKE THAT INDICATED "GO". IN THE ANOTHER INSTANCE I WAS AT A LIGHT LOCATED AT THE TOP OF A SLIGHT HILL WHEN THE SAME SITUATION OCCURRED AND THE SAME SCENARIO HAD TO BE COMPLETED IN ORDER TO GET THE CAR TO MOVE AGAIN. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THIS VEHICLE IS A LEMON.
