Engine shuts off while driving. Very dangerous to shift to neutral, while rolling, and try to restart with key. Must come to a complete stop and shift to park to restart. Not so bad if you can get to the side of the road first, terrible if you have to stop in the travel lanes to restart car. Sometimes it takes up to 30 minutes to get vehicle started again. *tr
