Consumer Description

MY SON WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND HE WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT IN THE TURN LANE. HE WENT TO PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL, THE CAR REVVED UP, BUT IT WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD. IT WAS STUCK. THE CAR MOVES WHEN IN REVERSE AND THAT'S IT. THE CAR WOULDN'T EVEN DRIVE IN LOW GEAR. IT WILL NOT DRIVE WHILE IN THE DRIVE POSITION. HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK TO TOW IT TO THE MECHANIC. I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED IN JULY 2019. CAME HOME AND DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE CAR ONLY TO FIND THERE WERE 5 RECALLS.
