| Description of the problem | While the vehicle was stationary (idle at a stoplight), the vehicle turned off without warning. The vehicle then had difficulty starting after the incident - leaving my car sitting idle in a busy intersection. In addition, due to the same mechanical error, my car while in motion (on a highway going about 65mph), the car had difficulty maintaining engine power and "sputtered" several times before resuming normal performance. This resulted in my car moving at speeds that were under the posted speed limit, causing vehicles behind me to have to brake quickly to avoid rear-ending me. Finally, again due to the same issue, the car had difficulty starting (while not in motion). |
