Example complaints

Engine: “On 9/27/19 I left the gas station with full tank of gas and stopped at a red light on a busy road in rush hour traffic. The light changed green my vehicle shut off and would not restart creating a safety hazard. I put the gear in neutral and pushed out of the road. A light came on auto start/stop disengaged. Everything else powered (windows, radio, rear shades, screen, phone and navigation, etc.) and worked so there was no problem with the battery. The tow truck arrived 1 hour later, the car wouldn't start, locked up completely and the gear wouldn't shift. …”
