NHTSA complaint #10683576, filed 2015-02, 74,000 miles“The car randomly dies at an idle, low speeds shifting gears, [including reverse] as well as during speed acceleration. If you punch the gas pedal while moving it will start back up and continue on. If you are at a stop you have to put the car in neutral or park to use the key to restart. It dies at the most in convenient times, at stop signs, traffic lights, turning right or left. There is no pattern. One day it will stall out 2 times throughout driving and other days it will stall 50+ times. …”
