Consumer Description

THE STOP/START BATTERY HAD TO BE REPLACED. WITHIN 2 MONTHS THE CAR BATTERY HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS WAS BECAUSE THE STOP/START ENGINE DIED VARIOUS TIMES. THE CAR WOULD NOT START FOR OVER 10 MINUTES. A MONTH AFTER FIXING IT , IT STALLED AGAIN. I AM 65 YEARS OLD AND THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. I STOP AT A STOP SIGN AND START TO GO AND IT DIES. IT SEEMS THAT THE STOP/START ENGINE HAS TO BE STOPPED FOR A PERIOD OF TIME BEFORE YOU CAN GO.
