In lower gears / below 3500 rpm, i will occasionally experience a sudden deceleration, and then an abrupt acceleration as the vehicle attempts to make it to the commanded speed. This only occurs when the vehicle is already in motion, most often city streets, occasionally while accelerating onto a highway. I believe this creates a potentially dangerous situation, as a driver may not have the full, consistent…

When accelerating into traffic the engine shuts off leaving me crossed opposed traffic. Will usually start right away after. Car has to be in park to restart. On occasion the security light flashes and will not restart without locking and unlocking the car. Performing this action while blocking traffic (in both directions) can't be safe in any way. The car also dies at speed even when the cruise has been set for…

Since that time, the same problem has happened at…
