Description of the problem	Dont know which category it falls. I bought this car in august 2015. In one week it would not start even. Towed to dealership and they said, the grounding screw was loose. I am so surprised that a car comes out from factory with a loose grounding issue. In the last 2 weeks, the car just stalled at the signal. All lights came up. I had the eco start/stop mode on. This happened 3 times and finally i shut the eco start/stop mode down. It is so dangerous that in heavy traffic, when people are ready to drive on change of signal, the car wont move, people are honking and frustrated and i am too. Looked online and so many people are complaining the same. The whole of dashboard lights up like when a car stalls. This is very dangerous. Anybody waiting behind you can take the pedal from the brake and smash into you. Similarly, for last 2 months, i have noticed that there is a jumping nature when you take leg of the brake at the signal. That scares me as well. From the feel of it, i feel this is primarily a software issue where the computer thinks it is in some mode when it is not or something and shuts everything down as a precautionary measure or something
