Consumer Description

I WAS LOOKING UP INFO ON MY CAR FOUND THERE WAS RECALLS ON MY SPECIFIC PROBLEM. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VERY HARD WITH POOR ENGINE PERFORMANCE. IT IDLES HIGH AND AT TIMES IT SPUTTERS TAKING OFF FROM A STOP. I AM AFRAID ONE OF THESE TIMES IT WILL STALL AND WILL END UP IN AN ACCIDENT. WE HAD IT HOOKED UP FOR A DIAGNOSTIC IT CAME UP TROUBLE CODE P0742. THIS IS OUR MAIN TRANSPORTATION AND THE CAR USED TO TRANSPORT OUR SON. I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO GET THIS FIXED BEFORE IT BECOMES A MAJOR ISSUE OR A PROBLEM RESULTING IN A NEW CAR OR ACCIDENT. *TR
