| Description of the problem | My car is a death trap, i have already been in one accident and too scared to drive it, it just sits in my driveway. When you make a left turn at say a red light the car go's about 5 feet and then stops for 3 seconds, people behind honk at you and then the car rockets forward, i have already been hit once and the other driver took off, so i was left with the bill. The dealership says they can't fix it, even though it has a powertrain warranty. Please tell me what i can do. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S.
