The autostop feature turned the car off and did not turn on when I pressed the accelerator and I was in a intersection and I waited for ten minutes and it turned on again. The problem was with the computer which wasn't working.

The vechicle's engine shuts off while stopped for a very short time on roads in traffic. It can be a major highway, or interstate and even neighborhood roads. It can be hazardous as the vehicle takes a minute to start back up and get going. I had no idea this feature even existed, before I experienced it after purchasing. I am also experiencing problems with the tailgate/trunk locking. I lock the vehicle, and all doors lock except the trunk. I have only had the vehicle since dec 31,2018 and am very surprised to be experiencing these issues so soon.

I am unable to gauge the time needed for the car to restart after "autostop" shuts the motor at a hard stop. This is dangerous for all drivers as even when lifting my foot from the brake the car does not move as it should in "drive." instead, placing my foot on the gas pedal is required. This causes unexpected delays in beginning to drive that could have severe and long lasting consequences. I do not at all feel safe in this vehicle. This happens both during city and highway driving, I.e. When sitting in traffic. Other manufacturers have a switch to deactivate "autostop." chevrolet does not. I believe a mandatory recall is required to remedy this clear safety over site.
