Consumer Description

ON THE APRIL 23, 2014, MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING AND THE CAR SHOT OUT AT HIGH SPEED HE DIDN'T REALIZE WHAT HAPPENED. ON APRIL 24, 2014, I WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY IN PARK AS I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE TO SLOWLY ENTER MY GARAGE THE CAR TOOK OFF AT HIGH SPEED TIRES SPUN LEFT TIRE MARKS ON MY PAVEMENT AND I HIT THE BRAKES IN GARAGE NOT TO HIT THE WALL AND LEFT MARKS THERE AS WELL. MY NEIGHBORS WERE RIGHT THERE WITNESSING THIS SCARY EXPERIENCE. I CALLED CORPORATE IMMEDIATELY THEY TOLD ME TO GET IT TO THE DEALER. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER TOOK THE KEYS TO SLOWLY DRIVE IT ONTO THE FLATBED AND THE CAR AGAIN TOOK OFF AT HIGH SPEED AND ALMOST FLEW OFF THE TOW TRUCK! ALSO, THE PUSH BUTTON START BUTTON WAS A PROBLEM, EVER SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS LEASED. UPDATED 07/28/14 UPDATED 10/27/2014 *JS
