Consumer Description

I HAVE THE START/STOP ON MY 17 ESCAPE. WHEN COMING TO A STOP AND THE AUTO START/STOP COMES ON, I WILL GET A NOTIFICATION ON THE DIGITAL SCREEN SAYING "AUTO STARTSTOP SHIFT TO P RESTART ENGINE." I WILL HAVE TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RESTART ENGINE TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED THE PAST 5 MONTHS. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING EVERY TIME I DRIVE NOW FOR THE PAST 4 WEEKS. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I AM AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. I HAD THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR TESTED AND THEY WERE GOOD. NO ISSUES WITH THAT.
