Consumer Description

THE CAR HAS A MAJOR WIRING OR ELECTRICAL PROBLEM, BUT ITS NOT DETECTED BY MECHANICS. I HAVE A TEMP GAUGE THAT IS ALL OVER THE PLACE, SOMETIMES IT EVEN TOUCHES THE FAR BOTTOM RIGHT SIDE OF THE CONTROL PANEL. THE SPEEDOMETER IS NO LONGER WORKING, DRIVING OR PARKED I AM GOING -3 MILES AN HOUR. THE RPMS WORK WHEN THEY FEEL LIKE IT WHICH IS RARELY. THE ONLY GAUGE WORKING IS THE GAS. IN ADDITION TO THIS, THE CAR CUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. ALL OF THIS HAS BEEN FOR THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF AND CONTINUES TO DATE. I HAVE BEEN IN MID-LEFT TURN ON MAJOR INTERSECTIONS OF LOS ANGELES AND IT JUST DIED. I COMMUTE ON THE 110 FWY AND IT HAS JUST DIED, ALWAYS WHILE I AM ACCELERATING NEVER PARKED. THEN IN A FEW SECONDS YOU CRANK THE KEY AND YOUR OFF AND RUNNING AGAIN. IT IS SO SCARY BECAUSE IT IS SO UNPREDICTABLE. I HAVE RECEIVED SPEEDING TICKETS NOT KNOWING MY SPEED AND MECHANIC CANT FIND THE PROBLEM. WHAT DO I DO??? *TR
