| Description of the problem | Within owning the vehicle for approximately 6 months, the vehicle began shuddering when coming to abrupt stops. This continued and by approximately 11 months, the shuddering had become more common in less abrupt stops and in some cases would stall the car. The issue remains persistent, however intermittent. The most recent time of it stalling was two days ago, approximately 18 months into owning the car. I've held up traffic numerous times due to this issue while having to restart the car, however this most recent time, it occurred on a steeper hill and, had i not reacted quickly with the brakes, i could have rolled back into a car and potentially injured the occupants and myself. |
