Consumer Description

DRIVING THE CAR IT CUTS OFF AND ROLLS BACKWARDS AND COULD POSSIBLE HIT ANOTHER CAR. WAS TOLD THAT SERVICE CENTER CHANGE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE ON THE CAR AN WOULD NOT COVER A REPAIR LIKE THIS UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO MY NEGLECT OF NOT KNOWING THE NEW SCHEDULE THEY MADE UP. AND BECAUSE I FOLLOWED MY OWNERS MANUAL THAT THE REPAIR WOULD NOT BE COVERED. I FEEL THAT THESE CARS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED TO WHY THE CUT OFF THIS IS A DANGER TO ANYONE WHO IS DRIVING TO HAVE A CAR CUT OFF AN ROLL BACKWARDS. MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER DRIVES THIS CAR. *TR
