Consumer Description

WHEN EITHER ACCELERATING FROM A STOP OR WHILE ACTIVELY TRAVELING AT SPEED THE VEHICLE WILL DROP SPEED AND SHAKE TO THE POINT THAT YOU BELIEVE YOU MAY LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND/OR YOU MAY GET REAR-ENDED OR HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE TURNING FROM A STOPPED POSITION ONTO THE MAIN ROAD AND I WAS ALMOST KILLED BY BEING STRUCK BY A VEHICLE WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE SECOND MAJOR INCIDENT WAS WHEN I WAS TRAVELING AT 70 MPH ON THE EXPRESSWAY, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DECELERATED, THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN SHAKING AND THE CAR WAS ALMOST UNABLE TO BE CONTROLLED. THE FREEWAY INCIDENT TOOK PLACE 6/6/2020
