| Description of the problem | My car died out in the middle of the street while in reverse. When i was able to restart it back up, i dismissed it. A few days later, it would not start at the grocer. It restarted only after jumping. I drove it to auto zone for a new battery which seemed to help. Yesterday while backing out of a parallel park it died again mid aisle. I restarted it and slowly pressed forward by flooring the accelerator. I backed out again and after changing gear, it dragged forward without torque. Finally, it lurched into torque only to drag down at each red light. I'm appalled at all the online complaints of consumers experiencing the same problems with no relief. |
