| Description of the problem | I was driving down a main street heading directly into the free way interstate. Once i approached the interstate i was caught the light.... I then began to take off once it turned green. I reach about 20mph and my car jerked and the wrench icon came on. I then noticed i had no power and no where to go because my car never got a good speed... I almost got hit twice and held up traffic... How embracing seeing that i have a perfectly nice car. Once i got it home( which took 3hrs driving at 10mph and cutting off) i took the car to my auto shop and informed me on a recall for this problem.... But guess what? The dealership said not for me car.... If their is a recall on this part.. What makes my car different.? So i ended up paying $300 bucks in repairs, losing $200 work day.... Total loss....$500 on a part that is on recall... This is bull... |
