| Description of the problem | Vehicle surges forward after a stop at numerous & unpredictable times since purchase. This is very dangerous! Transmission has been replaced & continues to do this. There is not any predictability as to when this will occur. Have had vehicle in for service 6 times & they were 'unable to duplicate concern'. I would not be bringing my vehicle in if i didn't have a concern! I have never had as many issues with a new vehicle as i have had with this one! Vehicle lurches/jerks/rocks when shifting from forward to reverse & reverse to forward--doesn't always engage immediately. Vehicle has revved with acceleration, would not go forward & then suddenly surged forward several times. Pulls to the right on level surface. Vehicle rolls forward after braking as brakes don't always grab. After a stop, car rolls forward. Many issues with radio jumping around on own & skipping preset stations, volume control, & speakers have gone in & out at random. Hands free cell phone doesn't always work. Navigation screen has gone blank/black while car still running. I have had a very loud alarm go on from navigation screen for unknown reason. I received an assembly 'ignition on' warning after i turned car off. Car wouldn't start after 3 tries, then started. As you can see, the one consistent thing is the surging forward, but always something new & different, also. |
