Consumer Description

The automatic stop start on the engine fails to restart at lights and when stopping in heavy traffic. One time it happened luckily I was in a parking lot I had to get out of the car out of key fob range and it seemed to reset. Before I got out everything on the dash was frozen nothing would turn on or off. I’ve been pressing the button when I get in the car that overrides it but sometimes I forget. When it’s active and does restart at a red light it lurches ahead so much that you almost hit the car in front. It’s a horrible feature. This is ongoing problem.
