Consumer Description

THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE ORIGINAL INCIDENT, ALMOST EVERYDAY. THE VEHICLE TURNS OVER MANY TIMES BEFORE STARTING, AND HAS STALLED AT INTERSECTIONS TWICE. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER TWO TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR FOR THIS PROBLEM, AND EACH TIME THEY STATED THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THERE ARE NO CERTAIN CONDITIONS THAT THIS TENDS TO HAPPEN IN, THEY VARY EVERYTIME. THIS IS NOT NECESSARILY A SAFETY HAZARD, BUT MORE OF A HASSLE TO HAVE A NEW CAR AND THESE SORT OF PROBLEMS.......
