Owner report 11083731 · 2018-04-07 (April 7, 2018)
IN THE FIRST WEEK OF BUYING THE VEHICLE THE CAR ABRUPTLY STOPPED ON THE FREEWAY. I HAD IT PUSHED OFF AND ASTON MARTIN (GALPIN FORD) TOWED IT BACK, SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THE ISSUE AFTER ALMOST A FULL WEEK AND REFUSED TO HAVE IT RETURNED. NOT MORE THAN 30 DAYS LATER THE SAME INCIDENT OCCURS EXCEPT THIS TIME A CAR HITS ME FULL SPEED WHILE MY CAR IS ALMOST AT A COMPLETE STANDSTILL TOTALING THE VEHICLE AND CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY TO ME. IF I HAD A PASSENGER, HE/SHE WOULD HAVE DIED.
