I replaced it in the problem still persists. I drive on route [XXX] from [XXX] to [XXX] daily for work and this has happened a couple times in rush-hour traffic. I’ve gotten a video of this…

The restart function on this vehicle doesn’t work. Will leave you stalled in traffic. Multiple events in this vehicle for me. Problem recognized for older models but not 24-25 yet. Same exact issue though

There’s been a constant system failure with the starter, which works intermittently. It has a sluggish turnover. There have been a lot of reported problems with this starter, which causes system failure in the vehicle.
