Example complaints

“The on/off isn't working correctly. Once the car shuts off at a light and you take off the car starts jerking and the RPM starts racing. When I'm driving up an incline the car started jerked so hard it felt like I hit a brick wall. A week ago I was at a stop light and when I hit the gas to go the car barely moved while I was at an intersection because it jerked the whole way across, all the other cars had to wait until I could get out the way. I got this car on 4/15/19 and I've never had this type of problem before. I'm getting scared to drive it because what it's doing is dangerous. …”
