Consumer Description

WHENEVER I STOP AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN MY CAR STARTS TO VIOLENTLY ROCK BACK AND FORTH. NOT SIDE TO SIDE. THERE'S NO MOVEMENT IN THE CAR BUT YOU CAN VISIBLY SEE THE JERKING OF THE CAR. IT'S VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. LOTS OF PLACES CANNOT GET THE VEHICLE TO MIMIC THIS SO THEREFORE THEY CANNOT FIX THE ISSUE AND INSIST I'M CRAZY. OR THAT I'VE COME TO A STOP TO QUICKLY. WHICH I HAVE NOT. I HAVE EVEN WENT THE EXTRA MILE OF SLOWING DOWN WAY AHEAD OF TIME WHICH ALSO CAUSES THE ISSUE OF SAFETY. I HAVE MY TWO YEAR OLD WITH ME CONSTANTLY AND SHE JERKS AROUND IN HER CAR SEAT AT ALMOST EVERY STOP LIGHT:( I'M STARTING TO REGRET PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE.
