Owner's description
On three occasions while driving 5-10MPH in traffic our Atlas has shut off without warning. A message then appears on the digital display that reads “Please turn on engine manually.” The only way to do this is to come to a complete stop and put the vehicle in park before starting the engine which by the time the engine starts, other cars have to steer to avoid our Atlas stopped in a lane of traffic. The first time it happened we thought it was a fluke but then two additional times within the first three months of owning the vehicle is not a coincidence. The vehicle was inspected by the dealership with no red flags.
