| Description of the problem | August of this year i had to get a speed sensor replaced that cost me $1200. 00 because the vehicle would not go over 30 mph and was running at a high rpm. The vehicle demonstrated this problem over a year before i actually had to take it into a repair shop. I could usually pull over and cut the car off and cut it back on and it would correct itself which was totally ridiculous. Something really needs to be done pertaining to the faulty parts used to build these vehicles. I feel my $1200. 00 also needs to be refunded back to me in a check form asap. |
