SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
A FEW THINGS HAS BEEN OCCURRING REGARDING MY CAR. THE FIRST THING IS MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON SEVERAL TIMES AND WHEN I GOT IT CHECKED, THE CAR WOULDN'T START RIGHT AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET THE CAR STARTED, HOWEVER, THEY REPORTED NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. THE SECOND THING AND MOST SCARIEST IS MY BRAKES. MY BRAKES ARE TOTALLY MESSED UP AS THEY CONSTANTLY LOCK AND IT'S HARD TO PRESS ON THE BREAKS. THEREFORE I DO NOT DRIVE LONG DISTANCES BECAUSE I AM AFRAID I WON'T BE ABLE TO STOP IN TIME. I'VE TAKEN MY CAR TO GET DIAGNOSED AND THEY TOLD ME THE MY BRAKES AND ROTARS ARE SEVERELY DAMAGED AND INFACT IT WON'T PASS THE SAFETY CHECK IN THE STATE OF NY.

SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAYS (OR ANY OTHER ROAD) THE VEHICLE HAS SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL AND LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE OVER 20 TIMES. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND SAYS SERVICE TRANSMISSION. AUTO STICK DISABLED. I HAVE TAKEN IT MULTIPLE TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE MADE MULTIPLE REPAIRS, INCLUDING RECALLS AND A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. STILL THE PROBLEM EXISTS AND THE COMPANY DOES NOT SEEM TO CARE THAT MY LIFE AND THE LIFE OF MY FAMILY IS IN DANGER DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE HELP. I AM LISTING THE MOST RECENT DATE THIS HAPPENED BELOW AS I CANNOT LIST MULTIPLE DATES THERE. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AGAIN FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS FIRST HAPPENED IN 2013 AND HAS BEEN BACK AND FORTH TO THE SHOP EVER SINCE.
