Consumer Description

MY MOM PURCHASED HER VEHICLE AND FOR THIS LAST YEAR IT HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT ISSUES. SHE TOOK IT AND HAD IT REPAIRED BECAUSE THE OIL LIGHT KEPT COMING ON AND THE GEAR SHIFT STICKING AND THE TRANSMISSION. SHE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY CHARGED HER 400$. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME. AUTOPLEX IN ARANSAS PASS TEXAS. AS WELL AS CHARGING HER FOR A BATTERY THAT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THE CAR IS NOW UNDRIVEABLE AS IT WONT SHIFT AT ALL. WE AGAIN TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY ARE NOT VERY THOROUGHLY FIXING IT. MY MOTHER IS 74 AND IS ON A FIXED INCOME. THE FINANCIAL REPAIRS ARE RIDICULOUS AS WELL AS THE SAFETY ISSUE.
