| 2012 | POWER TRAIN | AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN A INTERSECTION MY CAR WAS GOING 50 MILES AN HOUR, THEN IT JUST SHUT OFF. IT'S A 5 SPEED AND IT SHUT OFF AND THEN STARTED BACK UP.THE CAR WAS IN 5 TH GEAR AT THE TIME IT WAS VERY SCARY IM GLAD THERE WAS NO ONE DIRECTLY BEHIND ME. I'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR SINCE DAY 1 THERE IS OTHER PROBLEMS WITH IT. BUT THE DEALERS SAY ITS NORMAL. THEY DONT KNOW WHY IT DID THIS. BUT THIS CAR IS UNSAFE AND TO ME ITS A LEMON. I'M TIRED OF FEELING LIKE A IDIOT THIS CAR HAS ISSUES. *TR |
| 2012 | VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER | I TURNED ON WINDSHIELD WIPERS & THE ENGINE DIED. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME IT HAD RAINED AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR & REALLY DID NOT AT THIS TIME ASSOCIATE THE WIPERS & THE ENGINE DYING UNTIL LATER THAT SAME DAY WHEN CONTACTED A FRIEND OF MINE TO DRIVE THE CAR. THE DEALER CONTACTED GM ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT THEY DON'T SEEM TO BE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER REPLACED THE WIPER MOTOR BUT THAT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. IT IS A LONG STORY & I'M VERY CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF & OTHERS. IT DIED THE OTHER DAY IN TRAFFIC WHEN IT STARTED TO RAIN & I TURNED ON THE WIPERS AND ALMOST WAS HIT BY A TRUCK. PLEASE CONTACT ME, IT WOULD BE EASIER FOR HIM TO EXPLAIN IN PERSON ABOUT THE PROBLEM. *TR |
