What owners wrote
The vehicle rpm's don't go low enough, to initiate the auto stop.. It only goes down to about 500 rpm's, when brake, & not low enough to activate auto- stop!! Evidently, the motor has to go to almost zero, to kick -in... Dealer service dept didn't know what to do, or tell me ??? What should I do next ???
The car will stop in the middle of driving it! The codes on my car is p00014 and p00010. This issue will cause accidents. Please notify the drives of this recall I have went to the safercar link and checked me car VIN and the recall has not been sent out for this car but it will cause injuries if not death. My car stopped on the in the middle of traffic..
