| Description of the problem | I am having issues with my brakes and car starting. When i press on the brakes and use the push start button, the brakes become hard and i am unable to start my car. I keep my foot on the brake and hit the push button several times. I get off of work or drop my child at daycare and wondering if my car is going to start. I had my car serviced in early may. Two weeks later the brakes lights were staying on after turning the vehicle off. I would have to tap the brakes several times to turn off. On june 12, 2017,i left work and my car wouldn't start. Luckily one of my co-workers stayed with me because the rental car companies were closing. I got a ride home and got a rental the next morning. I had to tow my car and i need a starter and battery. Even after the new starter, the events continue to happen at random. The dealership does not provide loaner vehicles. I can't leave my vehicle for a long time and pay out of pocket for a rental car. This is ridiculous and not safe. It's hot in texas and i can't be stranded with a 1 year old. |
