Description of the problem | Since taking ownership of the vehicle, i've experienced concerns with the vehicle bucking when moving at slow speeds such as in bumper to bumper traffic. The car hesitates to drive after a stop at an intersection and makes a winding noise when it finally does accelerate. One incident occurred when i was in the drive-thru lane at mcdonald's and the vehicle overheated. I had to pull over and allow the car to cool down for 30 minutes. Another incident occurred when driving in a parking mall structure with an inclined road, there several cars behind me and the vehicle overheated, i had to pull over in an unsafe location putting family and me in danger by vehicles passing by in a very narrow lane and allow the vehicle time to cool off again. Last week while at a shopping center i put the vehicle in reverse and it jolted forward almost striking a pedestrian. I |
