Typical engine symptoms owners report

Vehicles unexpectedly stall or shut off while moving at low speed, including in reverse or while stopped at lights on hills, sometimes tied to the auto stop-start feature.
After stalling, some owners report the engine hesitates or has a delay before responding when the accelerator is pressed, raising the risk of being unable to move safely into traffic.
One owner reported the engine consuming about one half quart of oil every 1,000 miles, with the low-oil warning light activating during oil changes, which the dealer described as normal.
A separate report describes the vehicle rolling forward on its own after the engine was shut off and the transmission was not placed in gear.
Some stalling events occurred alongside multiple dashboard warnings, including check engine, stabilitrak, and transmission service alerts appearing at once.
