Engine Fails at critical times
It is UNACCEPTABLE that the engine randomly stalls when driving.
Specifically, there is a problem with the "Auto start/stop" function.
While driving, I will come to a stop sign or red light, after coming to a complete stop the engine will shut off (as it is designed to do). When light changes to green I take my foot off the brake and the engine does not restart (car stalls); the car information center will then BEEP LOUDLY, RAPIDLY and INCESSANTLY while displaying a warning notice that you can not start the car while in drive mode and telling me to put it in park to start. I then have to switch from drive to park mode, push the start button, wait a moment for engine to start, and then put the car back into drive mode. Meanwhile, I have drivers behind me honking incessantly, or a truck coming up on my rear at a fast pace and I can't move. This is a safety issue that I find unacceptable in a modern car. I am a sitting duck waiting to be re-ended. This is NOT a fun driving experience. The issue is random. I have gone a week or two with no problem with "Auto start/stop", I have also had it happen to me several times during a single 30 minute drive. I have 5,000 miles on the car, and the issue has occurred at least a dozen times. It first occurred with 900 miles. I have had the car back to the dealer 4 times so far, twice now in for over a week. It occurred once with the head service mechanic in the car with me. Car is currently in the dealer shop. If it happens again, I will pursue NY State Lemon Law for either a refund or a new car.
