IF THE CAR HAS BEEN OPERATING FOR LONG PERIOD OF TIME AN HOUR OR MORE WHEN THE AUTO STOP KICKS ON THE WHOLE CAR TURNS OFF. USUALLY AT A STOP SIGN OR STOP LIGHT. IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I HAVE TO LET IT SIT OFF FOR A COUPLE MINUTES AND RESTART AND JERKS HARD INTO GEAR. . WAS TOLD IT'S THE BATTERY FUSE BLOCK AND ISN'T COVERED BY WARRANTY.

SIDE DETECTION DEVICE NOT WORKING. CAR WAS PURCHASED IN JUNE AT A REPUTABLE DEALER. THE DEALERSHIP IS NOT SAYING THERE IS A PROBLEM, BUT THE SENSOR IS CORRODED. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF OTHER CASES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

THIS WAS A HERTZ RENTAL CAR I PICKED UP AT THE ORLANDO, FL AIRPORT. JUNE 2, 2019. THERE WAS NO OPERATORS MANUAL IN THE CAR. IT WAS 10 PM AND I HAD TO DRIVE 90 MILES TO MY DESTINATION. ABOUT 30 MINUTES ON THE HIGHWAY TO CHECK OIL LIGHT CAME ON. I TRIED TO CLEAR THE NOTICE BY PRESSING SEVERAL BUTTONS ON THE DASH BOARD. THEN I THOUGHT I FOUND THE CORRECT BUTTON AND PRESSED IT. IT WAS THE CAR START AND OFF BUTTON. THE CAR IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF INCLUDING ALL THE LIGHTS. O WAS GOING 65 MPH AND SUDDENLY THE ROAD WAS PITCH BLACK. THE ENGINE HAD TURNED OFF SO I COULD NOT HOLD MY SPEED. I SLOWLY PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE. (TURN SIGNALS WERE NOT WORKING AT THIS TIME). WHEN I COMPOSED MYSELF, I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTARTED IT. THANKFULLY THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS AROUND SINCE THE CAR WAS TOTALLY DARK AND WITHOUT POWER AT 65 MPH. I WAS VERY FORTUNATE. I AN BAFFLED THAT CHEVROLET WOULD NOT HAVE CAUGHT THIS FLAW BEFORE PUTTING THESE CARS ON THE ROAD.
