Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 55 MPH AND MY CAR STALLED AND THE LOSS POWER CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND TOOK MY CAR TO A LOCAL CAR REPAIR BUSINESS. THEY PUT IN A 3 PART FUEL SYSTEM KIT/ACD12568796 THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY ELE AND THE BILL CAME TO $654.92. THE MILEAGE AT THAT TIME WAS 153101. I PURCHASED MY CAR FROM AN INDIVIDUAL. WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR APRIL 2013 I KNEW THE GAS GAUGE DIDN'T WORK BUT I THOUGHT THAT'S OK I'LL JUST KEEP THE TANK FILLED UP AT ALL TIME. BUT I'VE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WHEN IT IS IN IDLE POSITION. IT ACTS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STOP ON ME. I'VE ASKED THE CAR REPAIR BUSINESS AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP AND I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE IT REPLACED WHICH WOULD COST ME $700.00. ALSO I HAD THE CALIPERS REPLACED AT ON 10/5/12 WITH A MILEAGE OF 147005 WHICH COST ME $531.92. IT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING. *TR
