| 2000 | POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION | THIS IS MY SON'S CAR. HE HAD BEEN STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT AND WAS PROCEEDING TO SHIFT FROM 2ND TO 3RD, HE HEARD A GRINDING NOISE AND THE CAR FELT LIKE IT HAD A FLAT TIRE. HE PUT IN THE CLUTCH AND COASTED TO THE NEARBY GAS STATION. SMOKE WAS COMING OUT FROM UNDERNEATH HIS CAR. WHEN HE LOOKED, THERE WAS A TRAIL OF FLUID AND A PUDDLE UNDER HIS CAR. CAR HAD TO BE TOWED -- NEEDS WHOLE NEW TRANSMISSION (AND VEHICLE HAS ONLY 8,500 MILES ON IT). *AK |
| 2007 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | I REARENDED SOMEONE IN MAY DESPITE THE FACT THAT I WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED. I HAD MY FOOT COMPLETELY DEPRESSED ON THE BRAKE AND STOPPED AT A LIGHT, BUT STILL, MY CAR HIT THE CAR INFRONT OF ME WITH INCREDIBLE FORCE. I THOUGHT THAT I WAS HIT FROM BEHIND AND PUSHED INTO THIS CAR BUT WHEN WE PULLED INTO THE PARKING LOT, THERE WERE NO SCRATCHES OR ANYTHING ON THE BACK OF MY CAR. IT CAME DOWN TO BEING MY FAULT SINCE THERE WAS NO-ONE ELSE AND I COULDN'T PROVE THAT MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE. THEN, TODAY, AS I WAS REACHING DOWN TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK, IN A PARKING LOT WHERE I WAS, AGAIN, COMPLETELY STOPPED, MY CAR REPEATED THE FORCEFUL THRUST FORWARD. THIS TIME THERE WAS NO CAR INFRONT OF ME, THANK GOODNESS, BUT MY CAR HIT AND BOUNCED OFF OF THE CONCRETE CURB IN THE PARKING LOT RESULTING IN ME GETTING A HEADACHE FROM THE FORCE. AGAIN, I WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED AND MY CAR LURCHED FORWARD LIKE I WAS REARENDED. I KNOW THAT THE INCIDENT IN MAY WAS NOT BECAUSE I HAD TAKEN MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE BUT THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY CAR AND NOW THAT IT'S HAPPENED AGAIN, I KNOW I'M RIGHT. ONCE, IT HAPPENED TO HAPPEN WHEN I WAS BEHIND A CAR AND THEN TODAY IT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS IN A PARKING LOT, BUT I'M SCARED OF WHAT MAY HAPPEN IF THERE IS SOMEONE ELSE INFRONT OF ME. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO GET HURT BECAUSE OF THIS FAULTY CAR, SO THIS IS MY LAST HOPE OF GETTING SOMEONE TO FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. IT HAS ONLY HAPPENED TWICE IN A YEAR AND A HALF BUT I DON'T KNOW WHEN THE NEXT TIME WILL BE AND I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO GET HURT FROM IT. *TR |
