This car engine inconsistently dies, usually in first or second gear, sometimes when the car is stopped (e.g. At a red light) and sometimes when it is slowing down (e.g. Pulling into a parking lot), or accelerating (e.g. Taking off from a red light or pulling out of a parking lot). It has been to the dealer's 3 times and they cannot find the problem--the car has less than 4,000 miles and started doing this soon after purchased. I have the documentation from the 3 trips to the service dept. But am not sending them at this time. Has happened with 3 different people driving the car. Has happened at least 25 times. (last time listed below). Speed varies but usually less than 30 MPH--never on the highway so far. I have documented dates, mileage, and where it happened starting in november--car was purchased in august, 2015.
