| Description of the problem | While driving on the highway yesterday 2/9/17, the car was severely vibrating at the speed of about 60- 65. It was unbearable. My whole body was shaking and stuff on the passenger seat was almost falling down. Fuel vs mileage gauage on digital screen was visibly shaking. Steering wheel was so severely vibrating that my hands and arms remained shaking even after i arrived my destination. It was about 30minute drive on the higyway. I felt i was in vibrating massage chair all the way. It was snow day but the highway was perfectly cleared of snow. I was not speeding. I bought this car 8/6/17. It started giving me problem since september, first air conditional didn't work at 1000miles then i received a recall letter saying transmission fluid might not be filled enough on october. Of course they found it wasn't filled enough when i brought it to the service. They sold defective car and called it great product. |
