| Description of the problem | This is the second time the car has cut off in the last 2-3 months. The first time i was in traffic waiting for a traffic light, the car was in drive, it started to rough idle and then it cut off, it took a couple of tries to restart the car, i took it to the dealership the next day and was told it was due to dirty fuel injectors and was charged for fuel injector cleaning. Yesterday 2/13/19. I was sitting in a parking lot, the car was in park and running, when i turned the heat on, the car rough idled and cut off. I waited about 20 seconds then was able to restart the car. I drove home at night without turninng on the heat for fear of the car cutting off. |
