Consumer Description
In about July of 2023 car stalled at the light , then eventually started. Upon arriving home I turned the car off then tried to restart it started in battery mode? I tried shutting it back off and the vehicle started rolling down the hill at about 3 mph and would not allow me to shift gears or steer the wheel. Brakes were not functioning. Once I reached the bottom of the hill I pulled the Emergency brake to stop the car. Car was towed to the Ofrd dealership and was in the shop for 2 weeks with them trying to determine what happened and what caused the failure. The dealer after 2 weeks said it was the computer system that needed to be reset. Which I found to be odd as it should not have taken that long if it was only the computer system. Fast forward to 2024 new recall on the vehicle, that sounds like what happen to my car in 2023 . Solution was supposed to be available in a few months and here we are in at the end of the year with no solution. I don't want to keep driving the vehicle with a chance it may stall on me without notice. There has yo be some kind of resolution as I would want a tragic accident to force a qui ker turn around.
