| Description of the problem | While driving my car to work it would accelerate. My car had two recalls. The dealership had my car during most of the month of february. They called me and indicated the car was repaired. Drove car to work and car accelerated again. Took car back to dealership and they put in a new drive shaft. At that point i was too scared to get back in car. I had no confidence that the problem was fixed and i don't really think they knew what was wrong with the car as it was still unsafe to drive. I could not get back in that car nor could i afford to go to another dealership to purchase a new one. I qualified for their 0% financing on a 2010 new production with no recall and free two year maintenance agreement. I felt trapped with no choice but to buy the car as i had put $11,000 on the 2007 which was a loss. I have been driving over 30 years and never had an accident or ticket until i bought this car. |
