Consumer Description

WHEN DRIVING AND MAKING A RIGHT OR LEFT TURN, AN ERROR MESSAGE POPS UP ON THE SCREEN STATING CAN NOT SWITCH GEARS WHILE IN DRIVE, THEN THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF, IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME 6+ TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH, IT HAS HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF A LEFT TURN IN A BUSY INTERSECTION 3 TIMES AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. ONCE CAR IS SHUT OFF AND YOU GIVE IT A MINUTE, WHEN YOU RESTART IT TAKES TIME TO TURN OVER. THIS IS SO UNSAFE AND I AM AFRAID EVERY TIME I DRIVE AS I DRIVE MY DAUGHTER IN THIS VEHICLE AND THINK THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR SURE. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC THEY TEST DROVE AND HAD THE SAME ISSUE TWICE, THEY RAN DIAGNOSTICS AND NOTHING CAME UP, WHEN THEY RESEARCHED IT THEY FOUND THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEBSITE AND SAID I SHOULD TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY READ THAT IT MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE OIL BEING USED TO QUICKLY AND WHEN THE TURN OCCURS IT SUCKS IN AIR. PLEASE HELP!!!
