“Estaba corriendo normalmente y de momento le di gasolina y no respondi al cambio y como que se acelero(hizo un ruido fuerte) y dio un cantazo cogi el cambio y arranco de momento. Luego se le pego un ruido como si una manga estuviese raspando algo y la pare. No la he usado mas, primero por miedo que me pase algo con mis hijos y luego por la cuarentena del covid19. Agradecer me informen que puede hacer, donde puedo llamar o que puedo hacer. No puedo llamar a ningn lugar ya que todo esta cerrado. La guagua tiene garanta. Gracias.”
