Consumer Description

6/20 THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMED THAT THEY PERFORMED THE DTC INSPECTION AND A SYSTEM UPDATE (TO PREVENT VEHICLE FROM STALLING). THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED ON 6/23 AND IT BROKE DOWN ON 6/24. THE CAR WENT FROM 10MPH TO 43 MPH WHEN PRESSING ON THE GAS AND THEN INSTANTLY STOPPED AT AROUND 10MPH. THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF AND WAS UNABLE TO START AND HAD TO BE TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. I HIT A CURB AND IF I WAS NOT AN EXPERIENCED DRIVER I COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE OR MYSELF OR MY 3 CHILDREN COULD HAVE BEEN HARMED IF THEY WERE IN THE VEHICLE. I HAVE PROVIDED A VIDEO OF THE INCIDENT ON MY YOUTUBE AND THE DOCUMENTATION FROM WHAT THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND OFF OF THE ROAD. PLEASE SAVE LIVES BECAUSE THIS WAS VERY SCARY AND I FEAR GETTING BACK INTO THE VEHICLE IF THEY FIX IT. I DO NOT WANT IT BACK. I WANT SAFETY FOR MY CHILDREN AND MYSELF. I AM A SOCIAL WORKER AND I DRIVE MY VEHICLE TO CLIENTS HOMES AND I CANNOT DO MY JOB IN FEAR THAT I MIGHT LOOSE MY LIFE. HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=FCSX8MPCAG8 *TT *TR
