Consumer Description
DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, I NOTICED MY SPEED DROPPING. I PUSHED ON THE GAS BUT GOT NO RESPONSE. THEN TRAFFIC BEGAN TO STOP BUT I COULDNT! MY BRAKES DID NOT WORK!!! I PUT MY HAZZARD LIGHTS ON AND BEGAN TO DRIFT ACROSS 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC BECAUSE THE STEERING ALSO DID NOT WORK!!!! I ALMOST CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS AS I WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL MY VEHICLE. I MADE IT TO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND PUSHED THE EMERGENCY BREAK COMING TO A JOILTING STOP. ONCE I CAUGHT MY BREATH AND STOPPED SHAKING, I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. I THEN EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND CREPT ACROSS TOWN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE I HAD JUST LEFT GETTING MY OIL CHANGED PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. THEY CHECKED OUT THE VEHICLE BUT FOUND NO BAD CODES OR ANY OTHER ISSUE SO THERE IS NO FIX FOR SOMETHING THEY COULD NOT RE-CREATE.. THIS IS MY 3RD JOURNEY (2010, 2011, 2015) AND I BELIEVE THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I HAD NO ISSUES WITH THE PRIOR TWO YEARS. I AM TERRIFIED OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE NOW ESPECIALLY NOTING SO MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE.
