Consumer Description

AT APPROX 6PM ON 11/11 WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ENTER THE INTERSTATE MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO JERK VIOLENTLY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEGAN TO BLINK AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT EXCEED 35 MPH. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL AUTOZONE TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSTIC. MULTIPLE MISFIRES ON ALL CYLINDERS. I HAD THE SPARK PLUGS REPLACED THAT WEEKEND BECAUSE MY DEALERS REPAIR SHOP WAS FULL. PROBLEM STILL OCCURRED SO I LEFT THE CAR AT THE DEALER FOR THEM TO CHECK THE ENGINE. THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE 50,000 MILES ENGINE AND POWER TRAIN WARRANTY BECAUSE IT IS NOT A MOVING PART. I JUST HAD TO REPLACE BOTH BALL JOINTS AND UPPER AND LOWER CONTROL ARMS ON THE CAR IN JUNE. IT IS CURRENTLY AT 42,600 MILES. THE ALIGNMENT IS OFF AGAIN SO I'M SUSPECTING THE BALL JOINTS ARE GOING BAD AGAIN. *TR
