Description of the problem | I am not an expert so have no idea what may be causing the problem. I purchased car in late september 2015. Early on i noticed that when starting from a stop it felt like the engine was going to stall. Very rough running at slow speeds such as in heavy traffic. My driveway is at blind curve of a high speed 4-lane road. To say i am nervous pulling out would be an understatement. I want to move and fast. Since i may not always be able to see what's coming, i have always depended partly on my hearing as i pull out but during cold weather, in addition to rough running engine, the driver's window does not work until the temperature rises (all other windows work fine). Ford dealer in waynesville nc supposedly repaired the problem under warranty before i signed papers on the purchase at waynesville chevrolet. I believe it was 10/5 before i actually had possession of the car. |
