My wife was driving, the vehicle stalled without warning. She was approachign a stop sign intersection when this occurred. All 3 of my kids in the car. The electronic stability control lights came on, power steering and brakes were affected. Vehicle was turned off and restarted. Very dangerous. There are multiple train crossings in my area and my wife and I drive these routes frequently. This seems to be a common concern based on the complaints and needs to be resolved before someone is seriously injured or killed. I urge anyone who experiences this to report it to the federal safety agency. I urge the federal safety agency to open an investigation and initiate a recall on this matter which could potentially affect thousands of drivers (vehicle owners) as well as the public at large.

When trying to put car in manual mode the shifter doesn't change gears. This causes an issue when trying to shift to lower gears in bad weather. I have read many forums on this issue and it seems as tho it is completely a design flaw. There is a plastic piece that rubs on the wires and shorts them out eventually causing you not to switch gears manually, which can cause an accident in bad weather
