Consumer Description

I HAVE NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SOME MONTHS NOW. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS PROBLEM AT LEAST THREE DIFFERENT TIMES. MY ENGINE COMES ON AND STAYS ON FOR DAYS AT A TIME. THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THAN FOR LAST FEW MONTHS, WHILE I AM DRIVING ALL THE GEARS ON MY DASHBOARD LIGHT UP AND WONT ALLOW ME TO GIVE THE CAR ANY GAS, AND MAKES A SOUND LIKE THE ENGINE IS REVING UP. THIS CAN HAPPEN TWO TO FIVE TIMES A DAY. NOW, WHEN I PUT THE CAR FROM PARK TO REVERSE IT IS A MAKING A LONG BANGING NOISE AND JERKING THE CAR. *JB
