The car while turning intermittently dies and looses any acceleration stalls and most of the time starts back up when lifting foot of the gas and sometimes dies. Also the car accelerates on its own sometimes very quickly. The car stalling while making a left turn got me t-boned by someone while making a left hand turn. I'm not the only one with this problem. This defect is going to get somebody killed.

Barrington motor works had made more excuses than fix problems, other problems exist, but too many to list. The barrington mw has never once found a problem till the car leaves us stranded, even after we complained about that problem.
