Consumer Description

AFTER PURCHASING MY VEHICLE I TOOK IT FOR A SHORT DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS SPEEDING UP TO 35-40 MPH WHEN THE CAR STALLED. THE CAR STARTED AND I DECIDED THAT I BETTER TAKE IT HOME. I STARTED THE CAR, TURNED AROUND ON THE HIGHWAY AND WHILE I WAS DRIVING, IT STALLED AGAIN. IT STALLED SEVERAL MORE TIMES ON THE WAY HOME, I WAS NEVER ABLE TO DRIVE MORE THAN 45MPH BEFORE IT WOULD STA... SEVERAL DAYS LATER I DECIDED TO TRY TO DRIVE IT AGAIN. IT MADE IT TWO MILES OUT OF TOWN (GOING 65MPH) BEFORE IT STARTED STALLING AGAIN. IT TOOK ME OVER AN HOUR TO MAKE IT HOME BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD START, DRIVE FOR ABOUT 3 FEET AND STALL AGAIN. THE NEXT DAY THE DEALER I PURCHASED IT FROM TOWED IT TO THEIR SHOP AND THEY "RESET" THE COMPUTER. IT DROVE FINE FOR TWO DAYS BEFORE STALLING AGAIN WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET GOING 45MPH. I HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR SEVERAL MINUTES LATER AND DRIVE IT THE LAST 1/4 OF A MILE TO WORK. NOW I AM AT WORK WONDERING IF I WILL MAKE IT SAFELY HOME. I LIVE AN HOUR FROM WORK.
