| Description of the problem | This vehicle has had numerous occasions of the transmission slipping, jerking, acting as if it is going to completely stall. Today i had the service transmission light come on and it was hard to get it to go up a hill. Coming from a complete stop, it barely would go. Very unsafe. Very scary situation with my kids in the backseat. Appx 2 months ago, it did the same thing and the dealership diagnosed and fixed the issue. It obviously did not get resolved. Appx 8 months ago, i was pulling out of a shopping center when all my lights came on and my car would not go. Not forward, not in reverse. Again, very scary. I turned the car off, and when i turned it back on it was ok. I called the dealership and they told me unless they physically see if happen there isn't much they can do. So i didn't see a need to go through all the trouble of taking it in with that response. In august of this year, we were driving on vacation when the check transmission light came on and we couldn't accelerate again, it would barely go. We drove very slowly and again, it put us in a very dangerous situation. I can think of several other times this has happened but this is the gist of it. This car is not safe. It is going to get someone seriously hurt or killed. I am scared every time i come from a stop thinking it will stall on me. |
