| Description of the problem | I purchased the car new year 2013 in 2014 i noticed a roaring noise while driving on the street at slow and high speeds. Around christmas eve i was driving when the car died out on me on the street. I had the car towed to the dealer where they did their diagnosis. They had the car for 5 days, they said they had to replace the alternator which they said had internal problems and also reprogram the system of the computer of the car at 29,326 miles which is odd to me because it was a newer car. So now its 2016 and i brought the car back in to the dealer today because it seemed as the windows would roll down slow, the car wouldnt accelerate right away when pushing down on the gas (stalling) and it would shake while driving or at a stop, and when coming to a stop it would jerk as if someone hit my rear end. They did the diagnosis and said they had to reprogram the transmission. So i now believe there is internal problems with the car which is probably going to lead to the engine or transmission to go on me. And it is a manufacturers problem because i shouldnt of had any problems like these for a 2013 now at 46,000 miles |
