| Description of the problem | I have been having issues with my engine dying/stalling randomly while driving with the car in motion and slowing down with no signs or indications of an issue atleast 6 times since having the vehicle which i haven't had for a year yet. Two times i was almost involved in an accident when this problem occurred, i had taken the car to the service center and was told "could not verify customers concern scanned with kids no codes found test drove vehicle and vehicle drove and sounded fine at this time with no issues recommend having towed next time it stalls" and that it could be anything and the car could be there for hours, my fear is they will just replace random parts they think could be the issue and it will still occur and next time i could be involved in a serious accident, i do not feel safe in this vehicle so i had to purchase a new one the same day as the salesman moved the car over to my new one i had stalled on him |
