“This is my second complaint. I have had no feedback from my first complaint which bothers me since it a safety risk to me and my family. Recently I replaced the battery. I always let the car warm up before driving at the start of the day and have observed the car stall suddenly without warning. Fortunately I have avoided an accident from being rear ended by another vehicle. This happens every time and throughout the day. My service at the dealer is upto date and they have not indicated any issues. Please address this safety risk immediately.”
