What owners wrote

Stop/start system warning light when the car was stationary at a traffic light the car turns off at stop light and does not restart as it is supposed to when the accelerator is pushed. All items on the shift indicator begin to flash. Car must be turned off and restarted. The stop/start system warning light stays on. This has happened three times and is extremely dangerous.

I bought this car in jan. 2018 brand new. For the first year or so I had no problems. As of july 2020 it has stalled on me for 5 times. It only happens while on the highway (60-70MPH). The lights on the dashboard start blinking and it says "shift to p to start". It decelerates very quickly luckily I've been able to merge to the emergency lane on the highway but this last time (1/17/21) it was very scary as cars were swerving in order to avoid hitting me.
