| Description of the problem | Engine randomly stalls after sitting at red light/or while in traffic. All warning/dashboard lights come on and you can only start the car by putting it in park, then pushing start. The car has less than 10k miles. Dealership can't find code or replicate the issue. Internet searches indicate it is an issue and other makes and models have been recalled, but without a code the dealership doesn't know what to do. I was nearly rear-ended because it doesn't happen until you take your foot off the brake and press the gas to move forward, and that's when the engine shuts off completely. This happens randomly and has happened several times. |
