| Description of the problem | My vehicle would stall out/engine would turn off randomly on its own from a stopped position and moving motion. Started in febuary 2019 - current - coming downhill in neutral to a light. When proceeding after it turned green, i noticed my engine was off. I then proceeded to the next light and the vehicle then cut off on its own again at the next light while in neutral with my foot on the brakes. My gas meter was at 1/3 tank and i proceeded to the nearest gas station after i restarted my vehicle. Afterwards, i went on the highway and was coming to a slow down due to traffic and switch my gear to neutral and pressed on the brakes and as soon as i was coming up to the car in front of me my vehicles engine shut off while i was coasting at 30-40mph. I was still in motion when it happened. I proceeded to restart my vehicle when it came to a full stop and called my dealer. - 2nd occurence happend when i was slowing down to make a right turn and had my foot on the clutch pedal going into 2nd from 3rd. My vehicles engine then cutoff again when my foot was still pressed into the clutch pedal. I had restarted the car while in motion to avoid incoming traffic to accelerate into the turn. - 3rd occurence happened again when i was in neutral coasting into my parking spot at my apartment, the engine cut itself off again. -4th occurence happened in a series, i was coming up to a parking spot in neutral and as i braked to a complete stop, my engine shut off. I restarted my vehicle and had it drift backwards in neutral, it had shut off again without my stick shift being in any gear slots. I then restarted my vehicle and had it in first gear to move into my parking space and after moving forward and then going into neutral to brake, the engine cut off again. - last instance was from a stopped position to a neutral coast leaving a parking lot, this happend twice. |
