Description of the problem | Today, i was pulling out of a walmart parking lot on to a busy road where cars go about 50-55mph. I had my 15 yr old daughter in the car with me. I started to pull out into the road and all of a sudden, my car went from driving, to feeling like the transmission slipped in to neutral. It was one of the most scary situations as cars were coming at me, and all i could do is coast over to the side of the road. This is a brand new car, with just over 3,000 miles on it. I have only had it about 6 weeks. My husband is a disabled military war veteran. We had to save and save to purchase this car. We needed something reliable. We have teenagers who also drive. Now we are all terrified to drive this car; it could be deadly if we were on the highway or a busy road and the car does this again. I took it for a test drive in our neighborhood again tonight, and the same thing happened. I'm taking the car to the dealer in the morning. I hate the feeling that this car is dangerous; what a horrible thing to happen when purchasing a new car. |
