Consumer Description

STOPPING THE FULL ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TURNS ON THEN OFF. THIS HAPPENED AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS IN THE CITY, ON A HILL WITH STOP SIGN IN SAN FRANCISCO OR CITY, IT ALSO HAPPENS IN DRIVE THROUGH BASICALLY WHENEVER YOU STOP FROM A MOVING MOTION. THE DASH INFORMATION SYSTEM FLASHES AND FLICKERS, THE PILOT THEN HAS TO BE PUT INTO PARK AND PUSH START BUTTON TO TURN THE MOTOR BACK ON. THIS HAS.BEEN DANGEROUS AS THIS ISSUE HAS BURNED OUT A BATTERY AND HAD TO TOW THE PILOT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIDN'T REIMBURSE AND SAID IT WAS A MAINTENANCE BATTERY ISSUE. I HAVE FOLLOWED MY WIFE IN ANOTHER CAR AND THE TAIL LIGHTS AND THE LICENSE PLATE LIGHT FLICKER. THIS IS INTERMITTENT AS THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT INVESTIGATE AS THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THIS ISSUE,
