Consumer Description

I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AND THE CAR LUNGED SEVERAL FEET AND I BARELY MISSED HITTING ANOTHER CAR. THIS HAPPENED TO ME YESTERDAY AND ALMOST EVERY DAY AS OF THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. AS WELL AS MANY, MANY TIMES IN THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS, SINCE BUYING THE CAR. THIS IS GETTING VERY DANGEROUS AND HARD TO CONTROL. THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON TO THIS AND WE ARE GETTING FED UP. IT SEEMS TO DO IT MORE IN THE SUMMER AND IN THE WINTER, IT DOES NOT LIKE TO STAY RUNNING WHEN STARTING IT. THE ISSUE WITH IT NOT STAYING RUNNING IN THE COLD HAS STRANDED ME ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE BATTERY IS BRAND NEW, SO THAT IS NOT AN ISSUE. *JS
