Consumer Description

SECOND TIME THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM. FIRST TIME ELECTRICAL ISSUES PREVENTED CAR FROM SHIFTING OUT OF GEAR AND CAR WILL NOT SHUT OFF, I HAD TO PULL FUSES TO GET CAR TO SHUT DOWN. EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE WOULD NOT EVEN ENGAGE. SO MY DAUGHTER HAD TO HOLD THE BRAKE BECAUSE SAID AUTO WAS STUCK IN REVERSE FOR OVER ONE HOUR. THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THIS DEALERSHIP WAS NOT TRUTHFUL IN DISCLOSING THE ISSUES WITH THIS CAR. WEB SHOWS SEVERAL INSTANCES OF THIS HAPPENING, WHY HAS THE NTHTSA NOT RECALLED THESE VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME SETUP. I BELIEVE IT'S TIMES THAT THIS CAR GETS REPLACED BY THE MANUFACTURER.
