| Description of the problem | Car is moving at highway speed and suddenly shuts off completely and stops. Luckily car behind was able to stop avoiding a rear-end collision. My wife who was driving denies touching any shifting buttons on the dashboard. However, due to the location of the start/stop engine button it is very possible to touch the stop engine button if trying to adjust the radio or climate controls which are located adjacent to the stop/start engine control button. This is a design flaw! While you must depress the brake to start the car, all you need to do is brush the control button to stop everything while moving. |
