Consumer Description

1 WEEK AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT RAN ROUGH WHEN THE HEATER OR AIR WASS ON. THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES AND THE TACHOMETER CONTINUALLY MOVES UP AND DOWN FROM LESS THEN 1RMP TO 2 RMP. RUNS REALLY ROUGH DOESN'T WANT TO DRIVE. FEELS LIKE A VERY OLD CAR. THE CLUTCH IS FUNNY. THE CAR IS A LEMON!!!! I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER APPROX. 4 TIMES. LAST TIME THEY TOLD ME THAT THE ARROW SETTING ON THE HEATER TAKES MORE OF A DRAW ON THE ENGINE HOW STUPID WAS THIS ANSWER. THE OTHER SCENARIO THEY GAVE ME WAS THE GAS I WAS USING. WHAT YEAR ARE WE IN? *NLM
