Consumer Description
BEGINNING IN DEC 17 JUST A FEW WEEKS AFTER PURCHASE IT STARTED SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT STARTED ONLY ON RIGHT TURNS THEN ESCALATED TO PRETTY MUCH ANYTIME. ALMOST A YEAR LATER THEY WERE ABLE TO SUPPOSEDLY REPLICATE PROBLEM AND REPLACED THE ENGINE IN DEC18. JUST A COUPLE WEEKS AFTER ENGINE REPLACED VEHICLE BEGAN DOING THE SAME THING AND I HAVE REPEATEDLY TAKEN IT BACK AND THEY CAN NEVER REPLICATE PROBLEM. THIS CAN HAPPEN IN 2 MILES - 500 MILES OR NOT AGAIN UNTIL 1200 MILES. IT IS UNPREDICTABLE AND I HAVE SOMEHOW AVOIDED SEVERAL BAD ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS. I CANNOT TAKE ANYONE IN MY VEHICLE FOR FEAR OF LIABILITY AND SOMETHING BAD WILL HAPPEN DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. I GET NO HELP FROM CORPORATE OR THE DEALER EXCEPT ' SORRY WE CAN'T REPLICATE IT' VEHICLE HAS BEEN TOWED IN ON APRIL 19 AND AS OF TODAY THEY CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM SO I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO BUT THIS IS RIDICULOUS ALREADY.
