Consumer Description

PURCHASED VEHICLE 02/2013 SIX MOTHS LATER NOTICED BRAKE LIGHT WOULD COME ON WHEN COMING TO A STOP GOING DOWN A HILL. TOOK IN FOR SERVICE, TOLD "BRAKE SENSOR IS TOO SENSITIVE." ONE YEAR LATER NOTICED WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION BEYOND 50MPH ENGINE WILL HESITATE- FEELS LIKE IT WILL SHUT OFF. SIMILAR SITUATION WHEN IDLING. TWO YEARS LATER STEERING MAKES LOTS OF NOISE. NONE OF THESE CONCERNS HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED WHEN BROUGHT TO STAFF'S ATTENTION AT DODGE DEALERSHIP. DODGE REQUESTS I PAY $107+ FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. NOT HAPPY WITH THIS PURCHASE MORE SO BECAUSE I AM MOTHER TO A THREE YEAR OLD AND EXPECTING...I FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN THIS CAR.
