Yet more problems. With silent stop of engine at a stop light, it shuts off. I have learned that by keeping the throttle revved and putting lighter pressure on the brake was the only way to keep engine from turning completely off. This is not a problem at a low traffic stop sign bur very dangerous at a stop light on a busy highway. The problem and this is the twentieth time now that this has happened.
I come to a stop sign or stoplight put on the brake take my foot off the accelerator and stop - then engine goes into silent, not rev mode - then the light turns green and I take my foot off the brake, which means the brake lights to turn off signaling. I am proceeding to follow vehicles - but the engine has shut down and a light where the speedometer is located comes on letting me know I need to restart my engine.
At this time while restarting my engine large vehicles with angry drivers are loudly honking their horns. Usually this causes a four to five second gap in restart time which enables the car to proceed. The really bad part of this problem it only happens occasionally so most of the time a person can trust the vehicle but then it shuts off out of the blue so to speak.
