Consumer Description

I OWN A 2002 PONTIAC SUNFIRE AND I CONSTANTLY HAVE TROUBLE STARTING IT AND THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS WITH THE BATTERY. AFTER I PLAY WITH THE WIRING FOR A BIT IT EVENTUALLY STARTS YET WHEN I'M DRIVING IT IT STALLS OUT AND IT SEEMS LIKE MY CAR HAS A HARD TIME SHIFTING GEARS BECAUSE IT JOLTS AS I SPEED UP OR SLOW DOWN. AND SOMETIMES IT JOLTS WHEN I'M NOT ACCELERATING NOR DECREASING SPEED. THIS HAS HAPPENED EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR IN MID 2006. AND AFTER RESEARCHING IT I FOUND THAT THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL OF MY CAR HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR VARIOUS REASONS. *JB
