1 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem

Failure Date: 09/01/2020

I purchased my car on July 22nd 2020. The very first day while I was driving home I noticed that the car shut off while I was stopping. I thought perhaps that it was the auto off that triggered a little too early. Since then it happened twice and most recently while I was driving and making a turn the car just shut off. The only way to get the car going west for me too put the car in neutral and start the car again. Also, a google search of the tiger shark engine issues points out that there are many concerns and complaints affecting so many vehicles. There's also a class action lawsuit about this. .

2 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem

Failure Date: 08/10/2020

Vehicle has shut off while driving on two occasions. Both times I had slowed to a stop and when I hit the gas to reaccelerate at a green light the car shut off. The infotainment screens remained on and the lights on the shift knob started to blink. I had to put the car into park, turn it off and restart it all while sitting at an intersection. It was not a quick process. The car has an idle feature to save on gas however this was not the feature in action the car was off completely.

3 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem

Failure Date: 07/12/2020

Twice now, the vehicle has completely shut off while driving. The first time happened at a red light. This vehicle has automatic engine shut off when you press on the brake, but when you release the brake, the engine is supposed to come back on. When I was at the red light, the entire vehicle shut off and I needed to put the car in park and restart the vehicle. This happened again while I was making a u turn a few weeks later. As I was turning the car, the entire vehicle shut off and I luckily rolled to the edge of the road to put the car in park and turn the vehicle back on.
