Complaint
2009
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
1) CAR WAS SLOW TO START UP THE DAY BEFORE THE INCIDENT (CRANKED FOR 5-6 SECONDS). NO INDICATOR LIGHT OR OTHER WARNING. 2) HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP FAILED, CAUSING CAR TO LOSE POWER ON A BUSY STREET. CAR BECAME NEARLY UNDRIVABLE, WITH VERY LITTLE POWER AND ON THE VERGE OF STALLING. IF THIS OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY OR ON A STEEP HILL, A CRASH LIKELY WOULD HAVE RESULTED. PUMP FAILED WITH 3,000 MILES ON THE CAR. OTHER OWNERS REPORT PUMP FAILURES AS EARLY AS 1,000 MILES AND AS FREQUENTLY AS EVERY SEVERAL THOUSAND MILES. 3) FUEL PUMP REPLACED WITH A PUMP UNIT THAT HAS THE SAME DESIGN AND/OR MANUFACTURING DEFECT. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
HAVE TAKEN THE CAR FIVE TIMES FOR THE SAME STALLING,AND LAGGING OF THE FAULTY DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. THE CAR HESITATES 3-5SECONDS NO RESPONSE TO THROTTLE INPUT AND THEN LUNGES VIOLENTLY FORWARD. CAR HOLDS GEAR WHEN PULLING AWAY FROM LIGHTS AND THEN SURGES WHEN PARKING THE CAR ALMOST CAUSING ME TO HIT CARS PARKED NEXT TO ME. SOFTWARE HAS BEEN UPDATED ON THE CAR FOUR TIMES AND THE ISSUE IS STILL THERE. WAS TOLD THAT THE MASS AIRFLOW SENSOR WAS ALSO FAULTY IN THE CAR AND THAT MIGHT BE CAUSING THE ISSUE OF SURGING AND FLUCTUATING IDLE. MASS AIRFLOW SENSOR WAS REPLACED AND TRANSMISSION ISSUES AS WELL AS IDLING ISSUES ARE STILL PRESENT. TAKE THE CAR IN FOR SQUEAKY BRAKES AND WAS TOLD THAT THE SOUND WAS NORMAL, WEEK LATER CAR IS SHAKING VIOLENTLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY. UPON INSPECTION THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS ARE WARPED AND ALL THIS HAS OCCURRED ON A BRAND NEW CAR WITH 12K MILES AND LESS THEN A YEAR OF OWNERSHIP. CAR IS ALSO PLAGUED BY ELECTRICAL GREMLINS THAT KEEP FIRING OFF THE TPMS SENSOR WARNING LIGHTS THAT STAY ON AFTER A RESET AND VERIFICATION THE TIRE PRESSURE IS AS STIPULATED BY MANUFACTURER IN THE DOOR JAM. *TR
