Consumer Description

MY VEHICLE LOSS POWER WHILE DRIVING BABIES TO DAYCARE. THE CARE STARTED SHAKING AND WOULD NOT GAIN POWER IN COLD WEATHER. THE VEHICLE TOOK ABOUT 20 MINUTES TO WARM THEN THE INDICATOR LIGHT WENT OF AND NO PROBLEMS. THE INDICATOR LIGHT WAS A YELLOW ENGINE LIGHT FOLLOWED BY DRIVETRAIN MALFUNCTION. THE CAR JERKS NOW. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE AND I SEE SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE TO WHO. HAS THIS MODEL CAR. ALSO THE PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER IN GERMANY MEANING THERE ARE AWARE OF ISSUE. THIS NEEDS A MAJOR RECALL BECAUSE IN SOME OF THE CASES THE CAR CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD IN TRAFFIC. I PARKED MY CAR UNTIL SOME ONE COULD SAY WHAT THE ACTUAL CASE IS AND FIX. I SEE MOST PEOPLE HAVE TAKING THERE VEHICLES IN MORE THAN 3 TIMES WITH NO RESOLUTION. I ALSO RESEARCH DRIVETRAIN IN BMW AND ANOTHER MODEL WAS RECALLED AND FIXED. SO I'M THINKING ALL MODELS NEED TO BE RECALLED.
