What owners wrote

This is the second time it has happened since I bought it three weeks ago. The first time I was going through a drive through and the car just coughed and turned over and then stalled. It was five minutes before the car would start again. The second time it happened I was waiting at a light and pulled out to turn and the car just cough and stalled again. I had three men coming to move the car out of the intersection and after a few minutes the motor turned over and started again.

Reported at 960 miles, June 2014

I have taken my car in 3 different times after being in stop and go traffic and my brakes seizing, car turning off, smoking from car, warning lights on dash instructing me to put in n and then in d or r and then the car dies. Cannot turn back on. Once I can get to start, shrugs in movement. The vehicle does this when I stop and go - have issues with shifting after the car starts back up.
