Vehicle was driven 150 miles roundtrip. On way back, one mile from final destination while in left turn lane waiting for oncoming traffic so left turn could be completed, the auto start/stopped caused the engine to shut off as the car came to a stop. When brake was released car failed to turn back on leaving car stranded in middle of intersection. Attempted to restart car unsuccessfully. Also, car instructed driver to press "start button" until it started. However, while start button was depressed the emergency flashers/hazard lights would go off and have to be manually reengaged, making it doubly unsafe.
