Consumer Description

WHEN FIRST ACCELERATING, THE CAR STALLED OUT AND THE BATTERY DIED. AFTER BRAKING TO SHIFT BACK INTO PARK AND RESTARTING, I WAS ABLE TO MOVE AGAIN. BESIDES THE ACCELERATION ISSUE, WHEN DRIVING AND THEN BRAKING WHEN COMING TO A STOP, IT FEELS AS IF SOMETHING IS PREVENTING THE CAR FROM BRAKING CREATING A GRINDING SENSATION. AFTER THE INITIAL "GRINDING", AWD IS DISABLED ALONG WITH THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM. THIS HAPPENS JUST ABOUT EVERY TIME THE RENDEZVOUS IS DRIVEN. *TR
