What owners wrote
It keeps cutting off and the oil keeps going empty some say recall 11195a mite be the problem but I don't know jus got the car and when I start it up the peddle gets stuck and starts rite back up in motion and soon as you back up and soon as you turn out it cuts off on the high way and on city street and turning.
While driving the car just shut off in middle of road without warning. It would not restart and had to push it off the street as to not get hit.
