Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD THE CAR MULTIPLE TIMES IDLE HARD THEN DIE BOTH WHEN STOPPED AT STOPLIGHTS AND WHEN COMING TO A STOP. THIS IS THE CVT NOT THE MANUAL AND I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED AND THEY SAID "THIS IS NORMAL OPERATION" WHICH I DON'T THINK THE CAR DYING WHEN I COME TO A STOP IS "NORMAL OPERATION".
