Consumer Description

TO NOTE VEHICLE HAD A COMPLETE EVALUATION 1 WEEK PRIOR WITH NO CURRENT OR UPCOMING ISSUES. UPON STARTING CAR "ABS LIGHT, TRACTION LIGHT, BSD (BLIND SIDE DETECTION) LIGHT" CAME ON. UPON DRIVING, MY BSD SENSORS DID NOT OPERATE, AND ENGINE MADE WHISTLING SOUND UPON ACCELERATION AND WOULD NOT GO OVER 40MPH WITHOUT THE POWER BEING PULLED FROM THE ENGINE. ALSO TO NOTE MY CAR WAS APPARENTLY TRYING TO BE IN A HIGHER GEAR AT 30MPH (5TH GEAR). ALL OF THIS IS VERY SUSPICIOUS AS THE CAR HAS ONLY BEEN SERVICED AT DEALERSHIPS WITH MOST RECENT BEING 1 WEEK PRIOR. SERVICE DEPARTMENT SEEMED VERY POOR AT EXPLAINING THE CAUSE FOR THE SIMULTANEOUS MALFUNCTIONS OF ALL THESE SYSTEMS. I DO NOT CURRENTLY FEEL AS SAFE WITH THIS VEHICLE AS I HAVE BEFORE.
