“Was sitting at a high traffic intersection when car shut off and was very hard to start back up and get out of the way my car has done this 5 or 6 times I had it looked at but they could not find the problem said they would need to keep it and drive the car to see but when I let them have it for a week it never did it so now I always take the chance it can do it at anytime any where I put new starter before this started happening but car is still very hard to start .....”
