Consumer Description

THE GAS CAP GAUGE STATED THERE WAS A PROBLEM AND MY AUTOMATIC ENGINE START WOULD NOT WORK ANY LONGER. WE REPLACED THE GAS CAP AND THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS TWO YEARS LATER. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT NOTHING HAS EVER BEEN RESOLVED. THE VEHICLE ALSO STALLS AND THE ENGINE TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED A HALF DOZEN TIMES WHILE DRIVING 30-40 MPH. ALSO, WHEN DRIVING IN 2-3 GEAR, THE VEHICLE FEELS LIKE IT IS SURGING AND HAS AN INTERMITTENT MISS. 8/11/14 THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND I CALLED A COMPANY TO GIVE THE BATTERY A JUMP. THE CAR STARTED BUT NOW THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS MALFUNCTIONING WITH THE DOOR LOCKS CONTINUOUSLY LOCKING AND UNLOCKING, THE HAZARDS FLICKERING AND THE BACK WIPER GOING. *TR
