Consumer Description

VEHICLE MISFIRES/ STUTTERS RESULTING IN THE VEHICLE SHUTTING OFF. DRIVER HAS TO MANUALLY RESTART CAR. THIS CAN BE HAZARDOUS WHEN DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AS THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF. NOT SURE IF THIS IS A FUEL INJECTION ISSUE. I'VE HAD THIS HAPPEN TWICE WHILE ASCENDING A HILL. I PICKED UP MY NEW CAR ON 10/22/2019, SINCE 11/02/2019, I'VE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE 5 TIMES. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE REPAIR SHOP TWICE FOR THIS ISSUE AND CONTINUOUSLY SINCE 11/25/2019. THE CAR IS NOT STORING ANY FAULTS. VEHICLE ALSO RECOGNIZES ROAD REPAIR SEALANT AS A TRAFFIC LANE AND WILL TAKE CONTROL OF THE STEERING. YOU HAVE TO WRESTLE WITH THE STEERING WHEEL TO COMMAND CONTROL OF THE STEERING. LASTLY, WHEN USING THESE AUTO START/STOP FUNCTION, AFTER RELEASING THE BRAKE THE STEERING LOCKS AND YOU HAVE TO WRESTLE FOR CONTROL OF THE WHEEL.
