Consumer Description
CAR IS A DEATH TRAP! GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH AND IT JUST LOSES ALL POWER AND DIES! THAT WAS THE FIRST INCIDENT. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY REBUILT THE CLUTCH. THIS DID NOT FIX THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AT ALL. THE SECOND INCIDENT HAPPENED A WEEK LATER WHEN I HAD MY CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE, AND WE WERE MAKING A LEFT-HAND TURN ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND JUST DIED. HOW WE DID NOT ALL END UP SMASHED TO BITS IS ONLY BY THE GRACE OF GOD HIMSELF. IT IS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP NOW WITH THEM SAYING IT'S THE TCM MODULE IN THE TRANSMISSION. I CAME ONLINE TO INVESTIGATE ONLY TO FIND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS CAR AND IT'S TOTAL PIECE OF CRAP TRANSMISSION. I NOW HAVE ZERO FAITH THAT THIS WILL FIX THE ISSUE, AND I CAN NO LONGER TRUST THIS CAR AT ALL. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND SERIOUSLY NEEDS TO BE LOOKED IN TO. I AM FILING COMPLAINTS WITHIN EVERY AVENUE I CAN FIND. *TR
