Consumer Description

CAR WILL LOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING, ON OCCASION IT CAN BE JUMPED / RESTARTED, BUT IT WILL SUDDENLY LOSE POWER AGAIN. HAVE TOWED IT 6 TIMES IN 5 MONTHS. NOW I'M LOOKING FOR AN ENTIRELY NEW ENGINE. SIDE NOTE: YOU CAN'T PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL TO TOW IT IF THERE IS NO POWER, SO YOU HAVE TO HOPE JUMPER CABLES WILL GET IT ENOUGH POWER TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL. NO MANUAL STEERING EITHER, SO WE HAD TO USE A TOW TRUCK SEVERAL TIMES SINCE YOU COULDN'T TURN CORNERS MANUALLY AT ALL THE STEERING WHEEL JUST LOCKS, EVEN WITH THE KEY IN THE IGNITION.
