I RECENTLY PURCHASED A NEWER MODEL USED VEHICLE THAT HAS STARTED TO PRESENT SOME SERIOUS CONCERNS THAT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT CANNOT FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM AND DISCOUNTS MY COMPLAINT. MY VEHICLE'S MOTOR ACTS AS IF IS GOING TO STALL ON TAKE OFF FROM A STOP POSITION. I HAVE ATTEMPTED ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS TO HAVE THE PROBLEM SERVICED BY THE DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT; HOWEVER, THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THEY HAVE NO CONCERNS WITH THE VEHICLE. ALTHOUGH THE PROBLEM IS NOT PRESENTING ITSELF WHEN I BRING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, IT IS HAPPENING MORE OFTEN NOW THAN IN THE BEGINNING OF THE VEHICLE'S PURCHASE THAT I KNOW THE PROBLEM IS ESCALATING. I CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT "TRIGGERS" THIS EVENT EXCEPT THAT WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN, MY TWO YOUNG CHILDREN ARE IN THE VEHICLE. A NEW ISSUE ALSO HAS PRESENTED ITSELF. ON JULY 4, AS WE WERE TRAVELING DOWN A NARROW ROAD ALIGNED BY TREES, THE VEHICLE DOWN SHIFTED SO HARD IT CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE AND FORCIBLY JERK; HOWEVER, WE IMMEDIATELY REGAINED CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. MY ABS, ESP AND BAS LIGHTS ARE DISPLAYED AND I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THIS SERVICED FOR TUESDAY, JULY 6, AT WHICH TME I WILL ALSO ASK THEM TO PERFORM ANOTHER INSPECTION/SERVICE MY STALLING MOTOR ISSUE AS WELL AS THE NEW ACCELERATING/JERKING ISSUE. *TR
