Consumer Description

THIS OCCURS WITH NO WARNING, AND PLACES MY FAMILY AND ME AT RISK. WHEN THE ENGINE STALLS I HAVE TO DRIFT OVER TO THE RIGHT LANE, AGAINST THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC SO THAT I CAN PARK THE CAR. ONLY THEN CAN I RESTART THE ENGINE, SINCE IT MUST BE STARTED IN THE "PARK" SHIFTER POSITION.*AK INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
