Consumer Description

WHEN BOUGHT CAR HEARD HUMMING SOUND AT HIGHER SPEEDS. LOOKED IT UP AND A LOT OF SAME REPORTS ONLINE BUT MIXED CAUSES. BUT NOW THE POWER TRAIN COMPONENTS HAVE TO BE REPLACED BEFORE IT BREAKS COMPLETELY. I CAN FEEL THE VIBRATION WITH MY FEET ON THE FLOORBOARD. NOW IT'S REALLY LOUD AND I'VE ONLY HAD IT 5 MONTHS. IF I CONTINUE TO DRIVE WITHOUT FIXING THE CAR ITSELF WILL FAIL. POTENTIALLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I STILL HAVE 13000 PLUS TO PAY ON A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. NOT INCLUDING THE PHENOMENAL COST TO REPLACE. THE DEFECTIVE PARTS. CAN PROVIDE ESTIMATEDS FOR REPAIR. NOT EVEN SURE IT'S WORTH KEEPING. THERE WILL BE A CRAS IF I DON'T FIX IT OR CONTINUE TO DRIVE.
