Consumer Description

AFTER ACQUIRING A LITTLE OVER A MONTH (1167 MILES ON IT) THIS CAR FAILED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND HAD TO NAVIGATE OVER 4 LANES FROM JUST MOMENTUM - COULD NOT USE MY CELLPHONE AS IT WAS TRYING TO SYNC TO THE CAR WHICH WAS NOW COMPLETELY DEAD. TOWED TO PURCHASING DEALER AND WAS DIAGNOSED AS BAD GROUND WIRE. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS CAR AGAIN, MY PASSENGER AND I COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED OR WORSE.
