Consumer Description

MY CAR WAS RUNNING JUST FINE. ALL OF A SUDDEN ON A VERY RAINY NIGHT, THE CAR WOULD NOT CATCH GEAR IT WOULD TAKE ABOUT 5 SECONDS TO RUN SMOOTHLY. ABOUT 8 MINUTES LATER WHEN I GOT TO THE FREEWAY IT DROVE SMOOTHLY. THE NEXT DAY AFTER DRIVING THE CAR ABOUT 20 MINUTES IT STARTED DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME IT STARTED BURNING. I STOPPED TO LET IT COOL AND CHECKED ALL THE FLUIDS, EVERYTHING WAS OK. I TRIED TO DRIVE MY CAR 10 MINUTES TO MAKE IT TO MY HOUSE. WHILE REVERSING A LOT POP HAPPENED. I STOPPED AND LOOKED AND PINK FLUID WAS RUNNING DOWN THE PARKING LOT. I TRIED TO MOVE THE CAR OUT THE WAY BUT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS HARD TO TURN. AFTER AN HOUR I WAS ABLE TO TAKE IT TO A RELATIVES HOUSE AFTER REFILLING THE CAR WITH POWER STEERING FLUID. AFTER 2 HOURS OF SITTING WE TRIED TO TAKE IT TO MY HOUSE AND AS WE LEFT THE CAR LOCKED UP. THE ENGINE RAN BUT THE TIRES WERE GETTING NO ROTATION. WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD FOR ABOUT AN HOUR WHILE A MECHANIC TOOK THE BRAKE CALIBER AND BRAKE PADS OFF, SO WE WERE ABLE TO MOVE THE CAR OUT THE WAY. I AM PAYING ON A CAR THAT I HAVE NOT HAD FOR SIX MONTHS AND IS NOT WORKING. *TR
