Consumer Description

WHEN IT IS COLD, IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. ITS TAKES APPROX. 30-45 MINUTES TO TRY AND GET THE KEY TO TURN OVER. ALSO, ONCE THE CAR IS ON IT IS EXTREMELY EASY FOR THE KEY TO COME OUT OF THE IGNITION WHILE THE CAR IS RUNNING. MY TRANSMISSION ALSO SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY IN THE PARK OF BRAKE POSITION. WHEN GOING UP AND HILLS OR DRIVING ON ROUGH ROADS MY SPEED DECREASES WITH OUT MY CONTROL. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH. I HAVE HAD TO GO IT CHECKED BUT, WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEMS THEY ARE MENTIONED ARE NOT PROBLEMS AT ALL AND THEY CAN NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON.
