| Description of the problem | The vehicle stalls and requires pulling over to the side of the road. It sputters until turned off. Then will resume travel after restarting. This happened on multiple occasions in an intersection, on an off ramp, on a busy city street. The dealership initially said they didn't know what the cause was and that i should continue driving and see if it happened again. On july 7th, during a single drive home, the car shut down every couple of minutes and required my family & i pull over. We were on the side of the road many times on a busy highway, windy back roads--very scary not knowing when the car would fail, how fast cars behind us were traveling, whether or not cars would see us coming around a turn... Now they tell me the part needed is on back order because of the number of similar problems and they don't know when the part will be in. The car is way too dangerous to drive at this point so i am forced to pay for a rental car until the part comes in. Hoping for a recall! |
