Consumer Description

THE CAR STARTED TO SPUTTER AS YOU PRESS THE GAS. IT STALLS AND THEN PULLS BACK, NOT ALLOWING A SMOOTH DRIVE. IT ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AT AN INTERSECTION AFTER DRIVING THROUGH A STOP SIGN. IT IS ALMOST AS IF THE BATTERY AND THE CAR ARE FIGHTING TO SEE WHICH MECHANISM DRIVES THE CAR AND THEN THE BATTERY DOES NOT ENGAGE. THE TRANSMISSION WAS STATED THAT IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THE ISSUE. THIS CAR HAS HAD ANOTHER RECALL FOR FAULTY TRANSMISSION PARTS.
