Consumer Description

THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE OVER THE PAST THREE MONTHS. THE LATEST WAS YESTERDAY (24 SEPTEMBER 2019). THE ISSUE OCCURS ONCE THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN STARTED, THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO STUTTER AND WILL SHUT DOWN. SHUTTING THE ENGINE OFF, WILL RE-START AND IT HAS THE SAME ISSUE. SOMETIMES, IT OCCURS AFTER I HAVE DRIVEN 100 FEET (OR LESS) AND I HAVE TO PULL OVER, SHUT THE CAR DOWN, OR IT SHUTS DOWN, AND THEN RESTART. THIS MIGHT HAPPEN 2-3 TIMES BEFORE THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO DRIVE OKAY. THIS CONDITION SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. SOMETIMES, I HAVE TO TURN THE AC OFF PRIOR TO RESTARTING THE CAR.
