I TOOK IT INTO A MECHANIC FOR A DIAGNOSTIC BUT NOTHING CAME UP IN THEIR SENSOR. THE MECHANIC LOOKED AT ALL OF THE CONNECTIONS AND COULDN'T SENSE THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE. I KNOW THAT I DIDN'T BUY A NEW CAR BUT IT HAD A FULL INSPECTION. I'M WORRIED THAT ALTHOUGH IT PASSED IT'S SAFETY INSPECTION IF IT IS TRULY SAFE TO DRIVE SINCE IT KEEPS SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING AND ESPECIALLY COMING TO STOPS. *TR
