Consumer Description

I WAS PARKED AND TRIED TO START MY CAR, IT WOULD NOT CRANK UP. TURNED IT OFF AND IT HESITATED TO START AGAIN. THEN I TRIED TO SHIFT IT INTO REVERSE, IT WAS BLINKING AND IT JERKED LIKE WHEN SOMEONE HITS YOU FROM BEHIND REALLY HARD. AS I TRIED TO REVERSE THE STEERING LOCKED AND IT HARDLY WANTED TO BRAKE. THE SERVICE BRAKE LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE NOW AND EACH TIME IT GETS WORSE. IT'S NOT A SAFE VEHICLE TO DRIVE.
