What owners wrote
Driver entered car after grocery shopping. Car was put into drive and light accelerator pressure was applied appropriate for moving out of the parking space. Car proceeded to advance slowly at first but suddenly accelerated. The amount of rapid and sudden acceleration was inconsistent and disproportionate with the amount of pressure and effort that was applied to the accelerator when advancing from the parking space.
My car kept shutting down.I had to keep jumping it every time I started it. I took it to shop and they made me pay $130 for new battery. I feel it was related to battery recall and I shouldnt have had to pay. But they said there was a bad cell in it and it wasnt related to the recall
