THEN IT STARTED JUMPING FORWARD WHILE I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE ALMOST CAUSING ME TO GET HIT IN SEVERAL INTERSECTIONS.

THE ENGINE WILL RESTART IMMEDIATELY. ONE DAY AS I WAS GOING THROUGH A GREEN LIGHT A CAR TURNED RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. I HAD TO MAKE A PANIC STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION AND THE ENGINE DIED. I ALMOST GOT REAR-ENDED BECAUSE THE CARS BEHIND ME WERE NOT EXPECTING ME TO HAVE TO RESTART THE ENGINE.
