| Description of the problem | This vehicle has the 'stop/start feature;' which actually shuts off the engine when at a stop and is supposed to 'restart' when the gas pedal is depressed; the 'electrical systems' are supposed to be operative; how power brakes are 'electrically operated' is beyond my comprehension; however, a few days after purchase i was at a stop lite when the engine shut off, and eventually re-started' by itself; the dealer sales staff never informed me of this 'feature,' and also did not tell me there was an 'override switch on the dash; the fact that i did not override it, and that the engine did not restart when the gas pedal was depressed, to me means that this 'feature' is, on this vehicle, inoperative, and therefore inherently dangerous and life threatening; my wife refuses to drive it, and it was towed in to the dealer on 12/21/15, where it remains; i refuse to drive it as well; lastly, the vehicle exhibited no 'stop/start feature' upon a pre-purchase test drive with the salesman in which we made numerous 'stops' and a friend of mine was with me on that test drive, who will attest to this fact; likewise, it did not have any 'problems' until almost three weeks later, during which time i drove the vehicle daily. |
