| Description of the problem | I was driving, trying to get off the highway, i took exit which is a 270 degree circle with sharp turns, i am not driving fast at all but the car just stalled while driving, steering wheel locked and i almost fall down the hill, i almost died, this product has serious quality issues. I was driving in down town manhattan with two of my most important clients, we were going to an art auction, the car just stalled when i stopped at red light and will not restart, me and my clients were wearing 3 piece suits and its more than 90 degrees out, we were sweating like crazy, i believe the car's poor quality made it to fail without any signs. |
