Description of the problem | When beginning to take off from a stop, the car engine will rev up but the car will not move. All of a sudden the car will jerk forward. You never know when it will take off. I took my car back to the dealership for it's first service and complained about it. The service manager told me i just needed to learn how to drive it. The problem with the car has happened several times but was just very annoying to drive until recently. The other day i tried to cross a main highway. There was a car coming but normally i would have had plenty of time to cross safely. The car revved up but would not move. I pushed the accelerator all the way to the floor and the car engine revved way up and the transmission finally caught up. The car took off very abruptly. By this time the approaching car was too close and i should not have tried to cross. I have not logged any of the instances yet but will begin doing so now. There was another instance that comes to mind. I was parked facing downhill in a church parking lot. There was a parked car facing me directly in front of me. When i started to back out of the spot, the car revved up and it began rolling forward towards the other parked car. The transmission finally caught up and the car lurched backwards. I have noticed the problem a lot while going through drive thru restaurants. Not only is the car dangerous to drive, it is also very annoying to drive. At this point the solution i would prefer would be for the dealership to give me my down payment back and take the car back. I do not want to continue to pay high payments for a dangerous car. |
