Consumer Description

IN LESS THAN 2 MONTHS, I'VE HAD TO REPLACE SEVERAL PARTS OF MY CAR THAT I DON'T BELIEVE IS PART OF REGULAR SERVICE MAINTENANCE. THERMOSTAT, COOLANT HOSE, SPARK PLUGS (TWICE IN A YEAR), BRAKE LIGHTS AND HEADLIGHT BULBS (REPLACED TWICE IN A YEAR), TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE AND MOTOR MOUNTS BECAUSE OF THE TCM THAT MADE MY CAR JERK ALL THE TIME WHENEVER I ACCELERATE. EITHER AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR ON THE FREEWAY, MY CAR HESITATES TO ACCELERATE AND JERKS EVERY TIME I SHIFT GEARS. NOW, POSSIBLY THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED (I AM CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS WITH THIS ONE). I'M AFRAID IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS, I'LL BE SPENDING MORE ON CAR REPAIRS THAN THE CAR IS WORTH AND IT'S ONLY A 2008! *TR
