Consumer Description

SATURDAY 15, 2018 MY FAMILY AND I WERE DRIVING BACK FROM THE MALL, I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 55 MILES AN HOUR WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED AND JUST DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS OR SIGNALS ON THE DASH. I MANAGED TO USE THE MOMENTUM AND PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER, IT RESTARTED AFTER 9 TIMES TRY. THANKFULLY WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME. A MONTH BEFORE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY AND IT WOULDN'T START, TOWED IT TO MECHANIC AND REPLACED ALTERNATOR. TILL NOW VEHICLE ALWAYS STALLS WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR COMING TO STOP. THIS VEHICLE ACTS LIKE IT HAVE BEEN TAKEN OVER BY SUPERNATURAL FORCES AND WHAT HAPPENED LAST SATURDAY WAS VERY SCARY TO MY FAMILY. I HAVE READ A LOT OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE ABOUT THIS VEHICLE AND IT IS VERY UPSETTING THAT THE MAKER HAVE NOT TAKEN RESPONSIBILITY IN ADDRESSING THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I WONDER HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO DIE FIRST BEFORE THEY ADDRESS THIS SAFETY ISSUE. LET IT BE CLEAR I WILL SUE, GOD FORBID ANY HAPPEN.
