Consumer Description

I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM A USED DEALERSHIP I HAVE ONLY OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS. HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE FOR THE LAST MONTH AND A HALF. AND IT ALL BEGAN ON THE INTERSTATE. I WAS TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE DOING ABOUT 75 AND IT JUST SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF A CLUSTER OF CARS AND I HAD TO GO OVER 2 LANES TO GET TO THE SHOULDER. I LOST STEERING AND BRAKES WITHIN 10 SECONDS. ONE OF THE MOST SCARIEST RIDES EVER. I AM NOW AFRAID TO TRAVEL ON THE INTERSTATE WITH THIS VEHICLE. SINCE THIS HAS HAPPENED IT HAS SHUT OFF AN ADDITIONAL 5 TIMES I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP CAUSE THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND THEY SAID IT WAS A MAP SENSOR, I HAVE REPLACED THIS TWICE ALREADY. NOW IT DOESN'T IDLE RIGHT AND LOOSES POWER IN BETWEEN 30 AND 35 MPH. AND THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS ONCE AGAIN CAME ON. HAVEN'T HAD IT CHECKED YET CAUSE IT IS A SATURDAY NIGHT GUESS I WILL HAVE TO TAKE IT SOMEWHERE ON MONDAY. *TR
