Jan 2026

I was driving 70 mi./ an hour and then all of a sudden the car jerked very hard. The car behind me had to hurry up and move from behind me because he saw my car had come coming to a complete stop at 25 to 35 miles an hour. A show that I had a crash and then I tried to accelerate to go pick up the speed and I couldn't go no more than 45 miles was very scary don't want driver car like that haven't had the car a month and I'm having issues with something I'm paying for that shouldn't be happening
