Description of the problem | Auto engine idle stop malfunctioning, leaving vehicle stalled and stranded in the middle of traffic. Has happened two times in last month (sept 2019) now with last being on a busy highway with young son in car. Required a tow ($174 towing bill) and then jump (vehicle had to be removed from busy traffic asap) and very fortunate we were not hit as vehicle was stalled in the middle of 60 mph traffic for nearly 2 hours. The issue happens after the engine idle auto off kicks off the engine but then will not restart when foot is taken off the brake. This does not appear to be a battery issue as battery has been fine since and has not been replaced. Engine idle auto stop feature cannot be turned off permanently and one must remember to turn it off every time you drive the vehicle to mitigate this problem. This is a huge safety issue! Car is approx 2. 5 years old and has approx 34k miles. Issue has only surfaced recently however. Towing bill attached. |
