| Description of the problem | Engine sometimes falters and dies when coming to a stop; usually only in the first few miles of driving. Similar to what a manual transmission would do if you don't put the clutch in, except this is an automatic. Giving it a little bit of gas when it falters can abort the stuttering, but not always, and it isn't always possible to do so safely when you're trying to come to a stop. I've only owned the car for 3 months hand it's happened 7-8 times. Today, for the first time, the engine would not immediately restart after it died. Turned over but didn't engage through a half dozen tries, then wouldn't turn over at all. I was at a stoplight on a hill. A minute or so later, it fired up again and i was able to continue on. |
