| Description of the problem | Hesitation when entering traffic--hair raising experience--there is a 3 to 4 second stop in the in the drive train--the control of the vehicle is gone-leaving one in a panic mode--also feathering the throttle at times there is no response--took suv to dealer--they hooked up a monitor and with the service manager on board--- the vehcle did not respond when accelerating--i am told due to the information sent back through monitoring to the factory that the dealership could not ask for a buy back--my question is how can a co keep making and selling a unit that is defective ?--there are hundreds if not more similar cases on line with the same problems--i will not drive this vehicle on road--life threatening--if the dealership or co. Does not agree to buy back i will be forced to take further action--stand by--class action may be on its way!!! My case is pending--awaiting a response by either dealership or co. Hope some one is far minded as to this continuing problem--after all this is the u. S. A |
