I WAS IN A WRECK ON OCT 2 2019 WHERE THE FOUNT END OF MY CAR WAS RIPPED OFF AND AND SEVERELY DAMAGED MY AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED CAUSING ME TO HIT MY DOOR AND WINDOW AS WELL AS SLAMMING ME INTO MY DASH CAUSING INJURIES THIS WRECK HAPPENED AS I WAS CROSSING A INTERSECTION ON A CITY STREET GOING ABOUT 15MPH WHEN ANOTHER CAR HIT ME GOING VERY FAST WITH EXTREME FORCE
FROM DAY 1: CAR DOESN'T ACCELERATE PROPERLY; DOESN'T GO AS IT SHOULD WHEN ONE PULLS INTO TRAFFIC. VERY SCARY! THE 'EXTRA GEARS' ONLY MAKE THE MOTOR SOUND LIKE IT'S GOING TO EXPLODE, & DOESN'T MAKE CAR MOVE ANY FASTER/EASIER. I AM AN EXPERIENCED DRIVER WITH A PERFECT DRIVING RECORD; IT'S NOT THE DRIVER! SECOND ISSUE: THE HOOD KEEPS POPPING UP, AND I FEAR IT WILL EVENTUALLY FLY ALL THE WAY UP. THESE ISSUES ARE LIFE THREATENING. 3RD ISSUE: IT CERTAINLY DOESN'T GET THE GAS MILEAGE THAT IT SHOULD, GETTING 16-18. PLEASE HELP! AS A CANCER PATIENT, I DEPEND ON THIS CAR TO GET TO MANY DR VISITS. THANK YOU.
