Consumer Description
Car is 1 years old, just over 4600 miles on it. . Over the past month, vehicle stalled 4 times, twice while slowing to a stop during traffic on the freeway, on different days. Thankfully the car started back up again, as I was In the middle lanes both times. Then stalled again once more after each freeway stall, also coming to a stop. Vehicle also seems to be using a lot of engine oil. Started getting dashboard messages needing service. Then a few days after the car stalled for the fourth time, my engine light came on. So I had my car towed to the dealership for service on 6/24/2021. I really feel this is a safety concern, I don't know what I would have done if the car did not restart while I was on the freeway. I could have had my 4 year old niece with me. Only warning light, was the engine light and dashboard said I needed service. Car is currently still in the shop, but they called me today and said the diagnostic shows a CVT (something) insulator failed and they have ordered the part.
