Consumer Description

ON OCTOBER 16, 2014, I WENT TO THE DEALER TO PICKUP MY VEHICLE STILL WITH NO ANSWERS TO WHY THE DASHBOARD MESSAGE IS READING: STABILITRAKING OFF, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILITRAKING AND ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED. THEN THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN. AS I WAS PULLING OFF THE DEALERSHIP LOT, THE ENGINE LIGHT STARTING FLASHING RAPIDLY, VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOOSE POWER, IT WAS BACKFIRING AND SMELLED OF A FOUL ODOR. THE SALES MANAGER CAME OUTSIDE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO LOOSE ENGINE POWER. BY THE TIME HE CAME BACK INSIDE TO SPEAK WITH US, HE STATED THAT HE COULD NO LONGER TURN THE VEHICLE ON. HE STATED THAT IT WOULD NOT TURNOVER AT ALL. I AM NOW AWAITING THE FINDINGS AND GRATEFUL TO GOD THAT PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN ON THE DEALER'S LOT AND NOT IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. *TR
