Consumer Description

MY NEWLY LICENSED 16 YEAR OLD SON WAS DRIVING HOME FROM SCHOOL AND SUDDENLY THE CAR STOPPED PULLING. IT STAYED RUNNING AND HE WAS ABLE TO BARELY COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT WOULD NOT GO FORWARD OR BACKWARD AND THERE WAS NO NOISE OR PRIOR INDICATION THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM. AFTER INVESTIGATING THE PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. RECALL THIS VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IS WARRANTED DUE TO THE DANGER OF THIS PROBLEM. I AM HOPING TAKING THIS ROUTE WILL GET RESULTS. IF NOT I WILL TAKE OTHER ROUTES TO GET THE ATTENTION THIS MATTER DESPERATELY NEEDS. LOCAL NEWS MEDIA AS WELL AS BBB AND OTHER AVENUES. *TR
