Consumer Description
WE TOOK THE CAR IN TO GET FIXED BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. WHEN I TURN ON THE CAR AND START DRIVING THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT LOSES ITS SPEED AND IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS BEING PULLED BACK EVERY TIME ITS DRIVEN FORWARD. THE CAR FEELS AS IF ITS BEING FORCED TO DRIVE AND IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE CAR IS BEING DRIVEN. WE TOOK IT IN TO STAR FORD LINCOLN GLENDALE ON 1101 S BRAND BLVD GLENDALE, CA 91204, PHONE NUMBER (818)502-1901 WHERE THEY TOLD US THEY FIXED THE CAR BUT THE CAR REMAINED WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH NO EVIDENCE OF FIXED DIFFERENCE. WHEN WE PICKED UP THE CAR AFTER DROPPING IT OF AT STAR FORD LINCOLN WE HAD TO JUMP START THE CAR BECAUSE IT NO LONGER TURNED EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WOULD TURN ON BEFORE WE DROPPED IT OFF. THE CAR ALSO STARTED LEAKING WATER FROM THE RADIATOR EVEN THOUGH THAT WAS NOT ONE OF THE REASONS WE LEFT THE CAR THERE. AFTER PICKING UP THE CAR FRO THERE IT HAS BEEN REMAINED PARK BECAUSE WE CAN NOT MOVE IT.
