Power is down if radio and air conditioner is on. Vehicle will intermittently restart if stalled. Dealer is aware of problem. Service technician at dealership stated that engine may possibly not be strong enough for vehicle. *akwhen on an incline, the vehicle will roll forward even though the clutch and the gas had been engaged. The check engine light does not illuminate to give warning of a failure.
