CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. WARNINGS TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY ISSUES MAY POP UP. THE ENGINE MAKES A WEIRD NOISE AND THE CAR WILL OFTEN NOT SHIFT TO PARK TO RESTART. THIS HAS OCCURRED THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS FOR ME. EACH TIME I WAS LUCKILY DRIVING SLOWLY PRIOR TO A TURN. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER EACH TIME. THEY HAVE TRIED REPLACING THE SHIFTER, UPDATED THE COMPUTER SYSTEM AND CLEARED ERROR CODES. NOTHING WORKS. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE FOR OUR FAMILY AND THEY JUST KEEP RETURNING THE CAR TO ME.
