Ascent

  • 150 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

Driving down the road the entire car started vibrating and felt wobbly when I got above 20mph. Pulled over to check tires and under the car, no obvious issues found. Turned off then back on the car, same issue above 20mph. The car was struggling to get up the tow ramp and smelled an acrid odor that both I and the tow truck driver noticed. Made terrible sound when shifting from P through R to D. this all happened on paved roads going back home. The car now has 150 miles on it, bought it 3 days prior new.

Ascent

  • 600 miles
Jerky acceleration between 35-50 mph. Cvt "switching gears" up and down. Noticed at 600 miles. This happens sporadically, when it does happen the jolt snaps my head back. Brakes continue to squeal after 600 miles.
