Consumer Description

JUST STARTED NOTICING THAT WHEN I LET MY FOOT OFF THE GAS, THE CAR DOES NOT "NATURALLY" DE-CELERATE/SLOW DOWN, IT KEEPS GOING! HAVE TO PRESS THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN FROM ANYWHERE FROM 30-45 MPH. I SEE THERE WAS A RECALL AUGUST 2000, THIS WAS BEFORE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN NOVEMBER 2000 BY MY BOYFRIEND, WHO LATER GAVE ME THE CAR IN 2009, HOW WOULD WE HAVE KNOWN SUCH A DEFECT EXISTED PRIOR TO PURCHASE? WHAT IS THE DEALER/MANUFACTURERS OBLIGATION TO FIX IT BEFORE IT WAS SOLD TO AN INDIVIDUAL? HAVEN'T TAKEN THE CAR TO DEALER YET, BUT WE PLAN TO. THIS IS A HIGHLY UNSAFE CONDITION. I DO NOT FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO BEAR THE EXPENSE TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. *TR
