Consumer Description

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOPPED POSITION ON A DRIVEWAY THE CAR STALLED AND THE ONBOARD DISPLAY READ "SHIFT INTO GEAR". A FULL LOSS OF POWER TO THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION OCCURRED. CAR HAD TO BE RESTARTED TO RESUME DRIVING OF THE VEHICLE. THE RESTART WAS VERY ROUGH, AS IF IT NEEDED GAS. STALL COULD HAVE CAUSED LOSS OF LIFE OR INJURY IF IT WOULD HAVE OCCURRED IN TRAFFIC. THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME IT HAS OCCURRED. OTHER VEHICLES OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL HAVE A RECALL FOR A FAULTY FUEL PUMP AND/OR POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE BUT MINE DOESN'T.
