Description of the problem | In late august 2017 i purchased this vehicle, within 60 days an alarm light came on and sounded off. I took the car into the service dept, and was told an adjustment was made and the car would be fine. A few days later the same thing happened, this time i was told the car needed a transmission; a 4 was put in the car instead of a 2 and it would be 6 months to a year before the part would be available, because there was a back order on this particular item. Due to manufacturing, this is a wide spread issue and there is no recall, the cars are being repaired as they are brought in. I was also told to continue driving the car i should not have any other problems other than the car may stall. Well, the gears are starting to slip and it takes a couple seconds to get in gear when pulling off from an idle position, along with that the alarms are still going off. The issue that the car could just cut off in the middle of driving is unnerving by itself. I no longer feel like i have a safe vehicle to drive. I can't continue putting myself at risk. The car is still under the full warranty. |
