Consumer Description
WHILE DRIVING IN A 50 MPH ZONE ON A MAJOR ROADWAY IN THE TOWN I RESIDE IN MY VEHICLE DECIDED IT NO LONGER WANT TO GO. EVEN WITH MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL I COULD SEE THE NEEDLE FOR REVS MOVING WHEN I PUSHED THE PEDAL, BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AND TRIED THE PEDAL AGAIN. SAME RESULT THE CAR WOULD REV BUT NOT GO ASIDE FROM A STUTTERING /LIGHT JERKING, ALMOST AS IF IT DIDN'T WANT TO CHANGE GEARS. I HAVE HAD ROUGH SHIFTS FROM THE DAY WE DROVE THIS OFF THE LOT. I WAS TOLD TIME AND TIME AGAIN THAT IT WAS PART OF THE BREAK IN PERIOD AND THERE WERE NO CODES SPITTING OUT UNTIL THIS PAST SUMMER WHERE I GOT THE SERVICE SHIFTER PROBLEM A SECOND TIME THAT WAS ACCOMPANIED WITH SERVICE 4 WHEEL DRIVE. I NEVER HAVE USED THIS VEHICLE OFF ROAD AND MAYBE TWICE FOR VIRGINIA SNOW. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THERE WAS A RECALL, WHICH THEY HAVE FIXED. BUT NOW WE ARE BACK TO THE SAME SYMPTOMS ONLY NOW THE VEHICLE WANTS TO STOP FORWARD MOTION WHILE DRIVING. IT IS AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE SAYING IT WAS A WIRING ISSUE. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE. HOW MANY PEOPLE NEED TO BE IN THIS VEHICLE BEFORE AN ACCIDENT HAPPENS. LUCKILY FOR ME I WAS THE ONLY CAR ON THAT SECTION OF THE ROAD BUT IF I WASN'T I WOULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED ESPECIALLY DURING RUSH HOUR.
