Consumer Description

[XXX] STARTING IT UP TAKES 2-3X WITH PUTTING THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, THEN IT JERKS INTO GEAR. WHILE DRIVING IT JUST STALLS OUT WHICH IS VERY SCARY & DANGEROUS AND IT GOES FROM DRIVE TO 5TH GEAR NO 1-4, AND IT HESITATES & WHEN DRIVING UP TO A RED LIGHT FOR EXAMPLE, THEN IT STARTS TO CONK OUT. ALSO NO PICK UP FROM AN IDLE POSITION, I JUST BOUGHT IT 9/17/14 AND CALLED DEALER AND HE TOLD HIM IT WONT PASS INSPECTION "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON" CONSTANT. IT FEELS LIKE TRANSMISSION ISN'T IN PROPER GEAR (5TH) JUST STALLS WHILE DRIVING. EVERYONE BEHIND ME LEANS ON THE HORN AND YELLS AT ME WHEN IT STALLS OUT IN DRIVE. IM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. THE DEALER (NORTH SHORE AUTO MALL, LYNN MA 01905, MGR NAME [XXX], REAL JERK !!) SAID THEY DID A 21 POINT INSPECTION, BUT THAT'S BS, THEY WOULD HAVE CAUGHT THAT SEEING THAT THEY ARE IN THE BUSINESS AND KNEW THEY SOLD ME A CAR W/BAD TRANSMISSION/ALTERNATOR. NOW THEY DON'T WANT TO KNOW ME. PLEASE GIVE ME SOME RESOURCES THAT YOU KNOW OF TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. I COULD GO ON & ON ABOUT THE TREATMENT I HAD TO ENDURE BUT THAT WONT HELP HOPEFULLY YOU CAN REGARDS [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
