Consumer Description

WAS DRIVING ON THE STREET FOR ABOUT 25 MINUTES AND WHEN I STOPPED BEHIND ANOTHER CAR ON A STOP SIGN, THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, IT HAPPENED TO MY SON ALSO WHO TOLD ME TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN RE-START IT, IT DID, BUT WHEN MY SON TOOK THE CAR TODAY, IT HAPPENED TO HIM AND THIS TIME WOULD NOT START. WENT TO HELP HIM 20 MINUTES LATER AND THIS TIME IT TURNED ON, I DROVE BEHIND HIM ALL THE WAY HOME (ABOUT 30 MINUTES) AND MO PROBLEM? CAN'T TRUST TO DRIVE THIS CAR ANY MORE, I'M TAKING IT TO THE DEALER ON WEDNESDAY (EARLIER APPOINTMENT THEY HAD), BUT AFTER READING THE COMPLAINTS I'M AFRAID I CAME TO BE ANOTHER VICTIM, JUST BOUGHT THE CAR LAST DECEMBER 2013! *TR
