| Description of the problem | I bought my vehicle in august of 2010. In october we were on our way to florida, and at the end of a full day of travel, aprox 6 hours- we exited i95 in virginia to go to our hotel. When we came to a stop sign at the bottom of the ramp, we attempted to cross a state road to get to our hotel. When i depressed the accelerator the car barely moved and we were almost t-boned by another vehicle. We got to the hotel and after a nights rest the car seemed fine, but the car did the exact same thing the next night. When we got to florida the dealer was unable to find anything wrong and couldn't offer a solution. On the trip back to ny this spring the same problem occurred every day after a long drive, even though we made rest stops during the day. I feel this is a very dangerous situation, not being able to accelerate to avoid a potential accident and do not feel safe driving this vehicle. |
