Consumer Description

BRAND NEW PURCHASED 2 DAYS AGO ON 5/30/19 WITH 24 MILES ON IT. IT'S A 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND WHEN APPROACHING A STOP EITHER IN GEAR WITH CLUTCH DEPRESSED OR IN NEUTRAL, CAR WILL STALL AND NEED TO BE RESTARTED. DANGEROUS, SAFETY IS A CONCERN. IT'S A VERY SUBTLE STALL AND YOU REALLY HAVE TO BE PAYING ATTENTION OR BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN. HAPPENING MORE OFTEN NOW, VEHICLE NOW HAS 122 MILES AND GOING BACK TO DEALER FOR MORE TESTING. INITIAL TESTING AT DEALER WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM 1 DAY AFTER PURCHASE. IT'S NOW 2 DAYS OLD! BUILD DATE WAS 3/2019. IT APPEARS TO ME TO BE SLOW SPEED COASTING, CLUTCH NOT ENGAGED IN NEUTRAL TO A STOP OR CLUTCH ENGAGED IN GEAR COASTING TO A STOP.
