Consumer Description

I STARTED THE CAR. LET IT IDLE FOR A MINUTE TO BRING THE RPM DOWN. I TRIED TO SHIFT IT TO REVERSE BUT IT WOULD NOT GO. IT HAD AN ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ON. I SHIFTED BACK TO PARK AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. I LET IT SET FOR A MINUTE THEN RESTARTED IT. WHEN I SHIFTED AGAIN, IT CLUNKED AND WOULD BARELY MOVE. I SHIFTED TO DRIVE AND IT CLUNKED AND WOULD BARELY MOVE. I AM A SINGLE 55 YEAR OLD WOMAN. I WORK 2 JOBS AND LIVE 8 MILES OUT OF TOWN. I CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE THIS CAR DOWN. I BOUGHT IT BECAUSE OF THE LOW MILEAGE. IT ONLY HAS 39,000 MILES. *TR
