Consumer Description

I WAS TRYING TO TRADE IN MY CAR AND WHEN I CAME OUTSIDE TO START IT UP IT WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING AND THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP. IN ADDITION, I HAVE ALWAYS EXPERIENCED IDOLING AND JERKING WHEN TAKING OFF WHICH SEEMS LIKE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS BECAUSE I HAVE HAD EXPERIENCE WITH THAT ISSUE. CURRENTLY STILL HAVE THE SAME ISSUES JERKING AND IDOLING WHEN TAKING OFF. WHEN MY CAR EXPERIENCED THE ELECTRIC PROBLEM WAS IN 2015 AND IT HAD ABOUT 30 TO 40,000 MILES ON IT BUT THE JERKING AND IDOLING HAVE ALWAYS OCCURRED AND I CHECKED THE RECALL BEFORE AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WASN'T A RECALL.
