In once incident on the freeway, which happened to be the second day I leased the car came to an abrupt stop and I had to tow it off the freeway to the closest corner store. I then called the dealer I leased the car from and went through a number of options, none of which worked. I was instructed to leave my $160,000 car overnight in a very bad neighborhood and aston martin would pick it up the next day. I was told over a week later the problem was solved. less than 30 days later the same problem happened except this time I was side-swiped/rear-ended by a car going 70 mph and my car at a near stop. my car was totaled completely with all the right side air bags going off. my insurance would not cover it saying it was a defect with aston martin. I don't know what to do since I can't afford the repairs. the person that hit me only had $5,000 insurance coverage. please help.

This will be my second complaint. my car abruptly came to a stop on the freeway and was hit by another vehicle on the side of the car causing the right side passenger air bags to deploy and causing the car to be labeled as a salvaged vehicle. this was the second time this occurred despite informing the dealer.

The car was moving on the freeway and then suddenly went into neutral and lost all power coming to a complete stop. we had to push it off the road. then it would not start at all and we called the dealer to have it towed, please note this IS the second day after it was purchased.

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.
