Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING THE FREEWAY AT 70MPH WHEN SUDDENLY ALL THE INDICATORS WENT BERSERK WITH 6 DIFFERENT PROBLEMS APPEARING ALL AT THE SAME TIME. I WENT FROM 70 TO 40MPH WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING. I WENT TO THE SHOULDER TO STOP AND THESE PROBLEMS APPEARED: POWER STEERING SYSTEM (EPS), VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST (VSA), HILL START ASSIST, EMISSIONS SYSTEM, BRAKE SYSTEM AND BRAKE HOLD SYSTEM. IT SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME COZ THE CARS BEHIND ME STARTED HONKING AT BECAUSE OF THE SUDDEN REDUCED SPEED. IT COULD'VE COST ME MY LIFE! IT WAS ONLY AT 1195MILES WHEN THAT HAPPENED AND DID NOTHING THAT MAY HAVE CAUSED THE DEFECTS. I AM ON A THREE YEAR LEASE AND IT HAS ONLY BEEN LESS THAN 2MONTHS SINCE I HAD THE CAR. I DON'T WANT THAT CAR ANYMORE SO IF YOU CANT GIVE ME ANOTHER ONE (WITHOUT ADDITIONAL COSTS), THEN I WOULD WANT A FULL REFUND AND CANCEL MY LEASE. *TR
