Consumer Description

The problem started about a year ago and has happened a number of times. When stopping with the auto idle stop enabled the engine would sputter and nearly stall. This happens more frequently, but recently the engine will not restart and you have to manually shut off the car and then restart the car which can take upwards of 30 seconds to a minute. This tends to happen in dangerous situations like stop and go traffic, exit and on ramps during rush hour with lots of traffic. I took to the dealership thinking it was a battery issue but the battery tested fine. This seems to happen more frequently now.
