Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR LAST FRIDAY AND THE CAR STARTED ACCELERATING AND THEN SLOWING DOWN. I TRIED TO SPEED UP WHEN IT SLOWED DOWN BECAUSE I WAS IN TRAFFIC AND WAS AFRAID THAT SOMEONE WOULD HIT ME SO IT WOULD SPEED UP AND THEN SLOW DOWN. IT SCARED ME SO I PULLED OVER ON A SIDE STREET SO NO ONE WOULD HIT ME BEING THAT THE CAR WAS DRIVING ERRATIC. I STOPPED THE CAR, TURNED IT OFF THEN RESTARTED IT . ONCE I DID THAT , SAME THING AGAIN SO I TURNED IT OFF AGAIN AFTER I PULLED OVER THE SECOND TIME. THE 3RD TIME , IT STARTED DRIVING NORMAL BUT A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER , I COULD NOT START IT. I HAD TO HAVE TOWED 3 DAYS IN A ROW TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED SOMETHING EACH DAY BUT THE NEXT DAY , THE CAR WOULD NOT START . I AM AFRAID TO GET STRANDED AGAIN AND THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR !!! ITS A 2014. I WAS INITIALLY REAL EXCITED WHEN I BOUGHT THIS CAR BECAUSE BUT I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING GOING WRONG WITH THIS CAR AND I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT. *TR
