Consumer Description

CAR SPEEDS UP WITHOUT PRESSING THE GAS PETAL AND IT'S HARD TO STOP IT WHEN IN MOTION ON INTERSTATE IT STOPPED OUT OF NOWHERE AND TURNED OFF WITH AN 18 WHEELER BEHIND ME LIKE TO HAVE KILLED ME GOT CAR IN NEUTRAL FINALLY FORCEFULLY PRAYING THAT JESUS PROTECT ME BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR AND PULLED OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR. DRIVING DOWN ROAD STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP CAUSES ENGINE TO SHAKE WHOLE CAR AND BACKFIRES MY CAR RIDES REALLY ROUGH. MESSED UP POWER STEERING HAS CAUSED MY BLINKERS NOT TO WORK NOW. I'M REALLY SAD. THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON EVERY TIME I PUT GAS IN MY CAR. THE TRANSMISSION ACTS UP AND WHEN DRIVING MY CAR IT'S LIKE IT DOESN'T KNOW WHAT GEAR IT SHOULD BE IN SO IT JERKS REALLY BAD.
