Consumer Description

TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW, HAD IT CHECKED BY DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WOULD GO OFF AFTER DRIVEN A FEW MILES. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AROUND 50K MILES AND BEFORE I COULD GET IT CHECKED IT WENT OFF. I WAS TOLD THE ONLY WAY THE COMPUTER COULD DETECT THE PROBLEM WAS IF THE LIGHT WAS ON. IT HAS CAME ON AND GONE BACK OFF SEVERAL TIMES. NOW IT HAS CAME ON AT 90K MILES AND THE I HAD IT CHECKED AND WAS TOLD I HAD A BAD CRANKSHAFT SENSOR AND A BAD CAMSHAFT SENSOR. NOW THE TRANSMISSION HAS STARTED SLIPPING AT 90K MILES. I'M ALSO ON MY 3RD SET OF TIRES ON THE FRONT BECAUSE THE FRONT END WILL NOT STAY ALIGNED
