| Description of the problem | I purchased the car in aug. 2014 manufactured in ga july 2014. The car will unpredictably upon starting up lacks power it has been in and out of the shop with no fix. It will hardly go until you stop turn the engine off then restart it at which point it resets and regains its power as before. I am concerned this is very similar to the recalls that are occurring currently with this car but they stop recalls for the problem with those made 2012- may 2014, this car was made 2 months later and is having the same issue as those described in the recall for bearing damage. Please look into this as the problem did not stop with the cars in may 2014. The dealership has no resolve for the issue and i am certain it is the bearing issue after having reviewed the problem/recall with the cars manufactured just months prior at the ga facility. It has exhibited this problem multiple times. |
