Consumer Description

IN THE BEGINNING OF OCTOBER I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND POWER STEERING WAS ON MY MESSAGE DISPLAY. MY CAR THEN BEGAN TO BUCK EVERYTIME IT WAS TO SHIFT FROM ONE GEAR TO ANOTHER AND WHEN WOULD SLOW DOWN TO STOP IT WOULD ACT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL OUT. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER THEY SAID IT WAS THE BODY CONTROL MODULE AND FIXED THE PROBLEM. NOT EVEN A MONTH LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. 2 WEEKS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I DROVE IT RIGHT TO THE DEALER AND KEPT THE CAR RUNNING AND HAD A MECHANIC DRIVE THE CAR TO SHOW THEM THE PROBLEM. IT IS NOW IN THE SHOP TODAY 12/1/09. *TR
