I WAS IN PARKING GARAGE AT JFK AIRPORT. WHEN I STARTED CAR AND PUT IT INTO GEAR, THE CAR SHOT FORWARD AND CRASHED INTO CONCRETE BARRIER AND PILLAR. THE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED AND THE BRAKING DID NOT SLOW IT DOWN. THE CAR WAS TOTALLED AND THE TRAVELERS INSURANCE HAS OFFERED $2275 LESS THE $500 DEDUCTIBLE.

I AM APPAULED THAT AMERICA CAN MANUFACTUR SUCH A VEHICLE WITH ALL THE MAJOR ISSUES AT HAND, TRANSMISSION, SUSPENSION,ELECTRICAL,BRAKING SYSTEMS,FUEL,AIRBAGS,STRUCTURAL, I WISH THERE WAS SOMEONE WHO COULD ADDRESS THESE ISSUES WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND GET US ALL RESTITUTION. IF IT MEANS LEGALLY OR CONSUMER AGENCIES I AM INTERESTED. I DRIVE WITH 2 CHILDREN AND DURING THE TRANSMISSION, ELECTRICAL AND THE ABS FAILURES THEY WERE IN THE CAR. I WOULD LIKE SOME TYPE OF A REPLY FROM THEM IF AT ALL POSSIBLE. THANK YOU FOR THE WEBSITE AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE HEARD.
