Consumer Description
VEHICLE HAS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. VEHICLE HAS SHUT OFF WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT; WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY RESTART. FIDDLED WITH THE GEARS, PUT IN PARK. GOT VEHICLE TO START AFTER ABOUT 30-60 SECONDS. 30-60 SECONDS IS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME AT A STOP LIGHT THAT HAS JUST TURNED GREEN. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. ENTER VEHICLE; START; PUT IN REVERSE OR DRIVE TO EXIT MY DRIVEWAY; CAR HAS SHUT OFF WHILE ATTEMPTING TO EXIT DRIVEWAY, 4 TIMES; WARNING/PROMPTING ME TO PUT IT IN PARK. BRAKES OR ROTORS MAKE A SCRATCHING NOISE; NOTICE IF DRIVING CLOSE TO A WALL OR MEDIAN (TO REFLECT THE SOUND) WHEN WINDOWS ARE DOWN. HAVE HAD BRAKES CHECKED BY DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY WERE FINE. HOWEVER, THEY MAKE A CONSTANT NOISE. MY PARKING SENSOR HAS BEEN STUCK IN A POSITION THAT MAKES VEHICLE THINK THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT BUMPER IS IN CONTACT WITH SOMETHING. WILL USUALLY GO BACK TO NORMAL BY THE NEXT DAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE.
