THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE AND IT COULD NOT BE ALIGNED. THE TIE RODS WERE REPLACED BECAUSE THEY WERE DEFECTIVE. IN THE PAST THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD WHILE THE CONSUMER HAD HER FOOT FIRMLY PRESSED ON THE BRAKE. THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY IDLED HIGH WHILE STOPPED. THE VEHICLE HAS ROLLED BACKWARDS WHILE IT WAS IN PARK. ANOTHER MECHANIC INFORMED THE CONSUMER THE PREVIOUS DEALER INSTALLED SEVERAL ELECTRICAL COMPONETS INCORRECTLY AND THERE WERE ALSO SOME DEFECTIVE PARTS THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WHICH CAUSED THE ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. THE CONSUMER WAS GETTING POOR GAS MILEAGE. *JB
