| Description of the problem | I purchased this car 1 year ago, and in the past 2 days (at 86k miles), it has died at a stop a total of 4 times while on the road when i came to a stop (3 times in 1/4 mile, uphill - could not get it back into drive, had 6 people push it to the side parking lot). I was not able to get it started till the 6th try in the parking lot (had to switch to neutral and then to drive in order for it to not shut off). This is absolutely the most terrifying experience i've ever had driving. I got this car because it had high safety ratings, what a joke - worst investment of my life!! I am now $12k in debt with a car that can't even get me from point a to point b without breaking down. |
