Description of the problem | As i was driving through a school zone, my vehicle began to make a roaring sound and accelerated in speed. I kept pressing the brakes, but it would not decline in speed. The only thing i could do was make every attempt to avoid an accident and continue to press on the brake. My passenger and i were screaming to the top of our lungs and panicking. With stop signs and traffic lights up ahead, i was horrified. I continuously pressed on the brakes. Minutes later the roaring stopped and the car decreased in speed. After the incident, i immediately, called the dealership. And i brought the car in. I have taken the vehicle ,prior to the incident, to the dealership several times with concerns regarding the issue of speed control and strange sounds coming from the car. They told me that they could not find a problem. I had to pick up the vehicle. Although the car had done this before, this last experience has been the worst. I feel that they are brushing me off. I could have lost my life and caused injury my passenger, to my children and others. I am attempting to make every effort to resolve the issue but i feel helpless. In fear, i do not want to drive the vehicle. However, i purchased the vehicle to secure a primary source of transportation. |
