Consumer Description

THE DUCT FROM MY TURBO TO THE THROTTLE BODY EXPLODED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. VEHICLE WENT TO "REDUCED POWER MODE". SPEED WAS LIMITED TO 45 MPH. THIS ISSUE IS ACCORDING TO THE DEALER A "KNOWN PROBLEM". SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED BY THIS PROBLEM. THANK GOD I WAS ON A LOCAL ROAD NOT A FREEWAY. THE SERVICE DEPT. HAS MY CAR AND SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHEN IT COULD BE FIXED! I BOUGHT THIS LEMON 2 WEEKS AGO AND IT ONLY HAS 340 MILES ON IT. IT IS SITTING AT THE DEALERSHIP -- I DON'T HAVE MY NEW CAR. DANGEROUS SITUATION! ALSO IT HAS AN IDIOTIC AUTO STOP FEATURE THAT STOPS THE ENGINE AT EVERY STOP SIGN. THIS CANNOT BE TURNED OFF. WHEN YOU REMOVE YOUR FOOT FROM THE BRAKE THE ENGINE STARTS AND THE CAR JUMPS FORWARD. ANOTHER HORRIBLE SITUATION.
