Consumer Description

WHEN STOPPED AT STOP SIGN THE VEHICLE WILL COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AND YOU HAVE TO SHIFT VEHICLE INTO PARK AND RESTART. THIS HAPPENS WHEN YOU TAKE YOU FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND THE ENGINE IS SUPPOSED TO RESTART BUT DOESN'T. TYPICALLY IT IS VERY CONFUSING FOR DRIVER AND OTHER CARS ARE EXPECTING YOU TO CONTINUE THROUGH INTERSECTION BUT YOU CAN'T BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO RESTART. CAN LEAD TO POTENTIALLY PUTTING IN REVERSE INSTEAD OF NORMAL DRIVING CAUSING ACCIDENT.
