Consumer Description

Car stalled when stopped in drive. Car has auto start stop but did not restart when pressing gas pedal from break. Car had to be manually restarted.

Car was recently purchased and inspected before purchase but not since. No warning lamps/message but message did appear to restart car manually due to the stall
