Craftsman 5.5 hp 21" Briggs & Stratton 2-n-1 Deck Rear Bag Push Lawn Mower —

I purchased this mower a month ago, and the reviews are right--it was very easy to assemble and ready for mowing in minutes. My husband used it 2 times without any problem. Last week it began doing this: starting, running for a few seconds, then cutting off. It starts up easy enough but won't stay on. Gas, oil, everything looks fine. I'm hoping we can take it back. Looks like several others have had the same problem, so buyer beware.
