Consumer Description

LEASED THIS CAR BRAND NEW. AT 60 MILES ON ODOMETER, WENT TO START CAR, CAR TURNED STARTED BUT THEN STALLED/TURNED OFF INSTANTLY. HAD TO WAIT A FEW MINUTES TO START AGAIN. AT 250 MILES CAR CAME TO BRIEF STOP ON SLIGHT INCLINE WHILE WAITING FOR A PARKING GATE TO OPEN, PARKING GATE OPENED AND VEHICLE WAS STARTING TO ROLL WITH THE CAR OFF, I RELEASED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T START IT STALLED. I PUSHED THE BRAKES BACK TO STOP MY CAR. CAR WAS STILL IN DRIVE, I TRIED TO RE-START MY CAR BY HITTING THE PUSH BUTTON , CAR WOULDN'T TURN OVER. EVENTUALLY WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER 60 MINUTES. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD, I AM LUCKY THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN AT A BUSY INTERSECTION.
