Consumer Description

MANY INSTANCES OF THE CAR JERKING, JERKING FORWARD WHEN TRYING TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP. THE RPM REVVING UP TO DANGEROUS LEVELS FOR NO REASON AND TROUBLE DRIVING UPHILL. MY CAR HAS BECOME A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. FIRST THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING, WHICH CAUSED ME TO RUN OUT OF GAS AND STALLING IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. NEXT, MY CAR STALLED FOR NO REASON WHILE DRIVING, THAT WAS REPAIRED, SOMETHING TO DO WITH A RELAY SWITCH, NOW THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES, POSSIBLE RADIATOR FAILURE AND THE NEED OF A NEW CATALYTIC CONVERTER IN A CAR WITH 100K MILES.... THAT'S INSANE !!! SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED IF THEY DON'T FIX THESE VEHICLES AND PEOPLE DON'T HAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS LAYING AROUND TO FIX IT. SO, NO FOOD, RENT OR BILLS BEING PAID FOR OVER A MONTH JUST TO PAY FOR REPAIRS IS EVEN MORE OF A HARDSHIP TO FAMILIES. PLEASE HELP US BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENS. THANKS !!! *TR
