Consumer Description

ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHEN LEAVING SIGNAL LIGHT, TURNING OR CHANGING DIRECTION OF TRAVEL. ALSO HAS OCCURRED WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. CANNOT MAKE IT HAPPEN, IT JUST HAPPENS WHENEVER IT WANTS TO HAPPEN. NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS HAVE ALREADY BEEN REPORTED; 816911, 863413, 825902, 730158, JUST TO LIST A FEW. THIS NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED BEFORE A FATALITY OCCURS. IN ONE INSTANCE, IF I HAD NOT BEEN AWARE OF THE POSSIBLITY OF THIS OCCURING I WOULD HAVE PANICED AN D BEEN BROADSIDED! AS IT WAS, I WAS ABLE TO STEER HARD RIGHT AND PARALELL THE TRAFFIC THAT WOULD HAVE HIT ME IF I HAD STOPPED!
