What owners wrote
While driving, my car has stopped two times. first time I crashed on the side of road causing all of my tires and rim busted and had to replace all of them. I had no idea what was going on. second time I was taking kids to school where can just stopped in the middle of road and restarted. Recently it was smelling so I took it to dealer where they said its one of the cylinder and its not safe to drive so they replaced it as its under warranty.
Attempt to stop at light. Brakes were engaged fully engine kept revving up. Car kept going forward. In motion in city street. Straight and braking. Car has 496 miles.
