Description of the problem | This car is out right dangerous. My wife is driving on the express way 70 miles an hour the emergency brakes come on to her surprise and lock up. Thank goodness is was able to get it to the offside without incident. It seems this a common thing with this model, the gas pedal also cuts in and out unexpectedly causing the car to jerk violently in traffic. Ive just about had it with this thing. |
