Consumer Description

AUTO IDLE STOP DOESN'T RESTART. IT STALLS OFTEN DEPENDING ON THE LENGTH OF THE IDLE. IT HAS BEEN SLOWING PROGRESSING TO UNRELIABLE. IT STOPS ENTIRELY, OFTEN IN TRAFFIC AND THEN YOU HAVE TO PUT CAR IN PARK, RESTART ENGINE AND THEN PUT IN DRIVE AND GO AGAIN. BY THIS TIME TRAFFIC IS ALREADY MOVING AROUND YOU. VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY ON FREEWAY AND AT INTERSECTIONS. HAD THE BATTERY CHECKED AT AUTO STORE, TAKE IN FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE - IT TESTED STRONG BUT NEEDED A "CHARGE" SHOULD BE RECHARGING WHEN RUNNING AND ON FREEWAY.
