Consumer Description

JUNE 1, 2004. ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK THE CAR STARTED IDLING REAL ROUGH AND I DIDN'T REALLY THINK ANYTHING OF IT. I WOULD STOP AT A STOP LIGHT AND IT WOULD IDLE REAL ROUGH. FINALLY THE OIL LIGHT FLASHED ON AND THE CAR DIED. CALLED FOR A TOW TRUCK AND THEY TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. A MONTH LATER ON JULY 2 THE CAR STARTED IDLING REAL ROUGH. I DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER DRIVING IT OUT ON THE STREET CAUSE I KNEW IT WOULD BREAK DOWN ON ME AGAIN. I SHUT IT OFF AND STARTED IT AGAIN ABOUT FOUR TIMES AND EACH TIME IT WOULD IDLE REAL ROUGH. GOT IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN WHERE I WAS TOLD ALL THEY COULD FIND IT NEEDED WAS A TUNE UP. I GOT THE TUNE UP DONE TO IT AND EVER SINCE THEN IT HAS A HARD TIME GOING PAST 60 MPH. *JB
