Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD A HORRIFYING EXPERIENCE IN THIS CAR. THE ACCELERATOR HAS STUCK AND SPEED FASTLY EXCEEDED. THIS TIME WHICH I MAY ADD IS THE LAST TIME BECAUSE I RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO WHERE I PURCHASED IT , I ALMOST WENT UNDERNEATH AN 18 WHEELER IN STEADY TRAFFIC. MY DAUGHTER WAS WITH ME ON THIS OCCASION. I WILL NOT RISK HER LIFE OR THE LIVES OF OTHERS INCLUDING MYSELF. I AM CONCERNED THE DEALER WILL RUIN MY CREDIT BUT I HAVE BEEN SEEKING COUNCIL AND HAVE MANY OFFERS TO TAKE THE CASE. THERE HAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF OTHER THINGS LIKE THE AIR BAG LIGHT, BRAKES HAVE FAILED ON SEPARATE OCCASIONS.*AK
