Consumer Description

MY CAR REPEATEDLY GO THROUGH TIMES OF FITS. THESE FITS INCLUDE LOSING POWER STEERING, POWER STEERING CHIME, TRACTION CONTROL CHIME, CLICKING BEHIND THE RADIO, SPINNING SPEEDOMETER, GAS GAUGE FAILS, JERKING OR HICCUPPING AS ONE PERSON DESCRIBED IT, OCCASIONAL STALLING. MY CAR WILL DRIVE FINE FOR WEEKS, LIKES ITS NEW EVEN, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT HAS A FIT AND THIS GOES ON FOR DAYS. THIS STARTED WHEN MY CAR WAS A YEAR OR TWO OLD. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER A TOTAL OF 8 TIMES. EARLY ON WHEN THE CAR WAS YOUNGER IT WOULD SEEM TO BE REPAIRED ONLY DO START THIS PROBLEM AGAIN A YEAR LATER. NOW THAT THE CAR IS OLDER AND NOT UNDER WARRANTY I HAVE QUIT TAKING IT AS I DO NOT BELIEVE IT WILL HELP. THEY DO NOT SEEM TO KNOW HOW TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. THEY ARE RUDE TO ME. *TR
