WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET, THE CAR STALLED. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES WITHIN THE LAST 5 DAYS. IT IS UNKNOWN AS TO WHY THIS IS HAPPENING, BUT THE CAR STALLING WHILE DRIVING IN THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC, IS A SAFETY RISK. DURING THIS TIME, THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL, AND AFTER PRESSING THE START BUTTON AGAIN, THE CAR STARTER WAS CONTINUALLY TRYING TO TURN OVER AND START, BUT DIDN'T. AFTER GETTING ASSISTANCE, THE CAR WAS FINALLY PUSHED OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET FROM IT'S STALLED POSITION. AFTER GETTING PUSHED TO A PARKED POSITION, IT FINALLY STARTED, BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO TAKE THE CHANCE OF IT STALLING AGAIN, SINCE THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES NOW.
