THE AUTO SHUT OFF WHEN THE BRAKE IS FULLY DEPLOYED FAILS WHEN PRESSURE IS RELEASED AND THE CAR WILL NOT RE-ENERGIZE. LEAVING A CAR DEAD AT A LIGHT THAT JUST TURNED GREEN. REQUIRES ME TO PUT CAR IN PARK, THEN RESTART THEN PUT INTO DRIVE. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. NO ERROR LIGHTS. AUTO SHOP CAN'T FIX. MUST REMEMBER TO MANUALLY SHUT OFF THE AUTO SHUT OFF EACH TIME THE CAR IS TURNED ON. NOT SAFE. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED SEVERAL TIMES AS THE CAR BEHIND EXPECTED TO GO AT THE JUST THEN GREEN LIGHT. AT ONE LIGHT NO CARS WERE STOPPED BEHIND ME BUT A CAR APPROACHED A LIGHT THAT HAD BEEN GREEN DIDN'T REALIZE I WAS STOPPED WITH A FAILED ENGINE. SCARY. IT HAPPENS EVERYDAY.

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

AUTO IDLE STOPPED ENGINE WAITING IN TRAFFIC AND THEN IT WOULD NOT RESTART. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE, PRESSED THE GAS AND NOTHING WOULD WORK. EVENTUALLY, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE IN PARK, TURN IT "OFF" AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON.

OCCASIONALLY WHEN STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT THE CAR'S AUTO ENGINE CUT OFF DURING IDLE WILL NOT RESTART AS IT SHOULD WHEN I TRY TO GO. I MUST THEN PUT THE CAR IN PARK, WAIT 2-3 MINUTES, THEN IT WILL FINALLY RESTART. I TOOK IT TO MY DEALERSHIP WHO TOLD ME THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND DID NOT KNOW HOW IT COULD BE FIXED. STALLING AT A RED LIGHT WHILE CARS ARE BEEPING IS DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR ROAD RAGE. PLEASE HELP.
