“This could have happened before and just didn't pay that much attention to it but the first time we really noticed it we were : traveling slowly on gravel road , engine just quit. Had to put vehicle in park and crank it . Second time : had just stopped at a stop sign , started to pull out, engine just quit . Had to put vehicle in park and crank it again. Luckily there were no other vehicles behind us either time . Need to use this vehicle for a trip with our grandchildren and do not feel safe or comfortable in traffic as this could happen again and could cause an accident. …”
