Consumer Description

The auto engine disable function causes the car to stall unexpectedly. The car engine stops, and the car changes from Drive into Neutral. The only way to re-engage the engine is to place into Park and restart the car. Sometimes, it requires more than one attempt. Fortunately, this has only happened while the car has been stopped, but it has happened at several busy intersections, holding up traffic and creating a safety risk for me and others. Reading online, this is a known issue with suggestions to report this to NHTSA to include in the overall tracking. Hoping for a fix before someone crashes into my stalled car. I listed the last known date, but this happens with frequency (about 1x/week).
