| Description of the problem | I purchased my vehicle new. Since having it the panel which displays the radio will randomly go black. I've also had several issues with acceleration. Sometimes if i'm at a red light and then it turns green the car will rev and not move anywhere for about 30 seconds. Yesterday while i was on the highway my speed dropped from 60 to 40 very fast and i was not able to accelerate at all and had to pull over on the side of the road and my transmission light came on. I've also been driving before and when i hit the brake it makes a noise like its shifting super loud and the brake clicks. My vehicle is in for service right now but i dont feel safe driving it at all. It only has 16,000 miles on it and shouldn't be having all of these issues with such low mileage. Yesterday not being able to accelerate on the highway was scary and dangerous. |
