Consumer Description

WHILE ON MY WAY TO WORK TRAVELING DOWNTOWN IN A BUSY AND TRAFFICKY BUSINESS DISTRICT IN WHICH ACCELERATION IS VITAL, UPON ATTEMPTING TO MERGE WITH TRAFFIC AT GENERAL TRAFFIC SPEED THE TRANSMISSION STALLS AND I NEARLY GET RAMMED FROM BEHIND. FORTUNATELY THE DRIVER BEHIND ME NOTICED IT IN TIME & THOUGH MY VEHICLE DID NOT COMPLETELY STOP, IT STALLED ENOUGH TO HAVE CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I HAD NOTICED THE STALLING BEFORE, BUT NOT SO SIGNIFICANT. I HAVE TALKED WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE AT MY DEALERSHIP & THEY HAVE SCHEDULED ME IN FOR A SERVICE VISIT IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE. HAVING MECHANICAL EXPERIENCE, I'M APT TO BELIEVE THAT SOMETHING IS GOING AWRY IN THE POWER TRAIN. I JUST ACQUIRED THE CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED VEHICLE A FEW MONTHS AGO AND IT HAS LESS THAN 82000 MILES. HOPEFULLY MY DEALERSHIP WILL ADDRESS THE ISSUE ACCORDINGLY & FAIRLY, GUESS I'LL KNOW SOON ENOUGH. *TR
