From a stop, at times when i take my foot off the brake with the auto-engine idle set to "on", when i try to accelerate, the engine will cut off. The car puts itself in either neutral or park, then i have to restart the car - depress brake and press button - after 30 seconds to a minute. I was lucky not to have been rear-ended since at a green light, other drivers go, and do not expect a driver in front of them to…
