Description of the problem | The vehicle was purchased new and the problem with the clutch (which has been replaced twice) begin to occur shortly after the purchase. While driving on the highway or on main roads with a stop light the car would jerk when i would begin to excel. This problem was noted every time i took my car in for an oil change. I was then notified that there was a recall on the part. The part was then replaced once the back order shipment came in. The module was eventually updated because my concern with the jerking continued. In july, my car began to hesitate while driving and then completely cut off while in reverse. The car was then towed to the dealership and the module was replaced. Today as i write this notification the problem with the hesitation while the car is placed in reverse has begun again. I am very unhappy with the car and was told that i was $10,000 upside down on the car if i traded it in. I do not trust driving the car and daily my commute to work is over 65 miles on the highway. |
