Car cut off at stop light as it s hould but would not restart looked at geare shift and it was in N Put it back P and restarted car by switch and it stared up. This has happen two time about 2 mo, apart. This is a bad because some one will run into back of car thinking that you should move but you cant until you put I P and hit switch.

Since it’s a fairly new car still under warranty, take it into the dealer and tell them your concerns.

Until you take it in, turn off the auto stop/start function.
