Description of the problem | Bought the car new in jan. 2015. Noticed first issue in june 2015 when it had no power going up a steep hill. End of june check engine light came on and start/stop unavailable. Took it back to the dealer and was told it needed a new transmission. It had 9,000 miles at this point. Got car back and immediately noticed problems with acceleration. Car will not accelerate properly from a stop. I have almost been t-boned numerous times d/t pulling out into traffic for a turn and having no power. Also will accelerate when trying to brake. Car returned to dealer, told they could not duplicate. Car continued to have same issues as well as loss of power when going up inclines. Took back into dealer. They put a recording device on the car to monitor what it was doing when i was having the issues. Car also started going forward when i would put it into reverse. Just heard back from the dealership about the car. It needs another new transmission. I am done with this car. Pretty sure it qualifies as a lemon under ohio law. They will be buying this car back from me. Obviously the defect cannot be corrected. It is a huge safety issue. |
