Description of the problem | I have a few occurrences to tell about. 1. When taking it through a drive through car wash it was propelled forward at an unsafe speed. The vehicle was in neutral but still was shot forward and the brakes had to be applied quickly. This happened twice. 2. After coming off a freeway and coming to the first stoplight, when the speedometer hit 0 the vehicle lurched forward. I turned the auto stop off and proceed down the road. When i hit the next stoplight, it did the same thing, lurched forward hard, when the speedometer hit 0. 3. While getting up to speed, 70, on a freeway, the vehicle seemed to "miss" gears and it lurched a few times. 4. When approaching a turn, at slow a very slow speed, i tapped the gas for a little more speed and it propelled me forward hard and i had to hit the brakes. 5. In the first week of ownership an alert popped up on the center screen indicating the control panel had detected a problem with the catalytic converter system and it was a fire hazard. After taking it to the dealer they told me they could not find this in the computer memory anywhere and there was nothing wrong. At times i feel very unsafe in this vehicle and the whole reason i bought it is to feel safe and secure. Right now the vehicle has less than 1,000 miles on it. |
