| Description of the problem | This car is eventually going to kill someone. The accelerator chooses when to work. My car has 35000 miles on it and when i am turning or on the highway or just driving normally, pressing down on the accelerator it has a two to three second delay before it will engage. The dealerships won't help me and it has almost caused me to get into numerous accidents with my three year old son in the car! Many people are having the same issue. Also as of today i am having to replace the radiator fan for the third time. It has burned up twice before! How unfair to buy a new car and have to have these outrageous expenses and safety issues!!! This has to be fixed. |
