Description of the problem | In once incident on the freeway, which happened to be the second day i leased the car came to an abrupt stop and i had to tow it off the freeway to the closest corner store. I then called the dealer i leased the car from and went through a number of options, none of which worked. I was instructed to leave my $160,000 car overnight in a very bad neighborhood and aston martin would pick it up the next day. I was told over a week later the problem was solved. Less than 30 days later the same problem happened except this time i was side-swiped/rear-ended by a car going 70 mph and my car at a near stop. My car was totaled completely with all the right side air bags going off. My insurance would not cover it saying it was a defect with aston martin. I don't know what to do since i can't afford the repairs. The person that hit me only had $5,000 insurance coverage. Please help. |
