| Description of the problem | I was driving about 65 mph on the freeway, when all of a sudden my car starts shaking. I tried to get off the freeway but the car had no power so i tried to move to the shoulder as quickly as possible, bad idea. As my speed is decreasing rapidly there is cars honking and trying to move around to avoid hitting me. I get to the median, between and exit and the freeway, and turn off my car. I turn on my car again and as i tried to get onto the freeway the car wont let me pick up speed and it starts shaking again. I was stuck in the median for around 10 minutes before traffic got clear enough for me to enter the lane as slow as possible, being that every time i stepped on the gas to get in the lane it would start shaking. To me this is a dangerous problem and can't believe it is not a recall. I hope something is done about this issue because for the money they charge us for these cars they could at least make a car that wont crap out so soon! |
