I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE TWO WEEKS AGO FROM A CERTIFIED USED CAR DEALERSHIP. THE VEHICLE HAS 54000 MILES ON IT. FROM DAY ONE, IT HAS HAD AN INTERMEDIATE LONG START. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO STATED IT NEEDED A NEW BATTERY. REPLACED THE BATTERY, DID NOT FIX THE LONG START. NEW PROBLEM OCCURRED YESTERDAY (2 DAYS AFTER REPLACING THE BATTERY), THE CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE WHILE DRIVING!!!! LUCKILY THE CAR BEHIND ME WAS PAYING ATTENTION AND DID NOT REAR-END ME. NO WARNING, JUST STOPPED. THE DASH FLASHED "SHIFT TO DRIVE". I WAS ALREADY IN GEAR. AFTER ABOUT 30 SECONDS OF TRYING TO START THE CAR, THE CAR STARTED BACK. IT TOOK AN ADDITIONAL 10-15 SECONDS FOR THE CAR TO ACTUALLY MOVE EVEN THOUGH I WAS PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO DRIVE IT HOME. THE OIL WAS CHANGED 1000 MILES AGO. NO STORED CODES, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, NO WARNING BEFORE THE INCIDENT HAPPENED....NOTHING!!! I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS AND READ MULTIPLE FORUMS WITH NO RESULT BEING FOUND. THE CAR GOES TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY BUT I WAS TOLD IF THE CAR IS NOT THROWING ANY FAULTS, IT IS GOING TO BE HARD TO DIAGNOSE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AS IT IS GOING TO CAUSE A WRECK.

I PULLED OVER LEFT THE VEHICLE RUNNING AND SHIFTED IT TO PARK. ALL LIGHTS AND THE SERVICE SHIFTER SOON NOTICE REMAINED. I TURNED OFF VEHICLE FOR 5-10 MINUTES. STARTED AGAIN AND WARNING MESSAGE WAS GONE. LIGHTS ON GEAR SHIFT RETURNED TO NORMAL ONLY LIGHTING UP THE GEAR THE VEHCLE WAS ACTUALLY IN. THERE WAS NO WARNING PRIOR TO THIS OCCURRENCE. VEHICLE MADE NO UNUSUAL SOUNDS, NO SHIFTING FUNNY, NO ISSUES GOING INTO GEAR. NOTHING COMPLETELY OUT OF THE BLUE.

AFTER PULLING OVER AND SHUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF AND TURNING IT BACK ON EVERYTHING RESETS ONLY TO DO IT AGAIN RANDOMLY FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD .
