Consumer Description
WHEN I WOULD TRY TO START THE CAR THE STARTER WOULD STICK AND JUST KEEP TURNING OVER AND OVER, AND WOULD NOT START, WHEN I FINALLY GOT IT TO START I WOULD BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE RPM'S WOULD SHOOT UP BETWEEN 3 AND 6 AND DROP TO 0 IN A MATTER OF SECONDS AND EVERYTHING IN THE CAR WOULD SHUT DOWN, THIS IS WHILE I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND SET THERE UNTIL IT DECIDED TO START, SOMETIMES IT TOOK AWHILE AND OTHERS IT WOULD START RIGHT UP. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER AND OVER TO MANY TIMES TO COUNT, THIS CAR IS VERY DANGEROUS, I COULD HAVE BEEN HURT VERY BADLY. ALSO THE KEY WOULD STICK IN THE IGNITION AND WOULD NOT TURN I WOULD HAVE TO GET OUT OF THE CAR AND ROCK IT BACK AND FORTH IN ORDER FOR IT TO TURN TO START THE CAR. I HAD EVERYTHING POSSIBLE DONE TO THIS CAR THAT THE MECHANIC COULD POSSIBLY THINK OF, EVEN A NEW COMPUTER AND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS LATER IT IS STILL DOING THE SAME THING. THERE IS SOMETHING REALLY BAD WRONG WITH THE CAR AND IT NEED TO BE FIXED. I AM TIRED OF PUTTING OUT MONEY AND IT NOT BEING RESOLVED. HAVE PAPER WORK ON ALL THE WORK DONE TO THE CAR. MORE THEN 1 MECHANIC HAS LOOKED AT IT AND THEY ARE STILL SCRATCHING THERE HEADS! *TR
