Consumer Description

CAR WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, READY TO MAKE A LEFT-TURN AND COMPLETELY SHUT OFF FOR NO REASON. IT TURNED ON AFTER SOME MINUTES BUT THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE (HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T65940_DS765514) OF THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL (INCLUDING NEWER ONES), A LOT BEING WHILE THE CAR IS ACTUALLY DRIVING. THIS IS SO DANGEROUS!! WE DON'T FEEL SAFE CONTINUING TO OPERATE THE CAR SINCE FINDING OUT IT'S A RECURRENT PROBLEM FOR PEOPLE WITH THIS CAR WHO HAVE HAD NO RESOLUTION EVEN AFTER FILING MULTIPLE CLAIMS WITH CAR COMPANY AND TAKING IT TO THE MECHANIC.
