Description of the problem | This morning when i was driving with my 2 year old daughter, my car had major failures. While driving on a highway (us-46), the anti-lock brakes failed first, then went the power steering next. Luckily i was able to pull off the road in time before getting crushed by a tractor trailer. Funny thing is, i knew this was coming. I called my local dealership on wednesday to tell them i suspected my car was going to have the same issues others have had. My car started shaking quite a bit when i was drinking on tuesday 2/21/17. When you research this for this model, you'll find all sorts of scary stories, like mine today. When i called the dealer's service department i was totally blown off, treated like a moron, and told they could see me on march 7. Helpful, right? So i made an appointment at another dealership for tomorrow morning 2/25/17. Alas, i didn't make it. This is a very serious issue. Had i been driving on an interstate, this could have resulted in a major accident. I just hope someone reads this and understands 1. This is not the first person it happened to and 2. This issue is going to kill someone. I escaped with my life today. Others may not. |
