I'm getting ridiculous error messages all at the same time including u0100 (lost communication with the ECM/PCM), c121c (torque request denied), u140e (implausible vehicle configuration), c2202 (original VIN missing/mismatch), p0700 (TCM malfunction), u0164 (lost communication with heating, venting and cooling), and u110b (lost engine coolant message).

NHTSA complaint #10778035, filed 2015-09, 90,000 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. …”
