Consumer Description

MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE GUAGE SAID HIGH TEMP GET TO SAFE PLAACE TO STOP. THE CAR WOULD NOT GO BACK OR FORWARD. THE SHOP PUT IN TRANSMISSION BUT IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND THEY PUT IN A GUAGE. NOW IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN. EACH TIME I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED AND REPAIRED. I THINK THIS IS A MATTER THAT NEEDS BE BE IINVESTIGATED. WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE INDICATOR CAME ON AND WITHIN A FEW MINUTES THE VEHICLE REDUCED IN SPEED AND STARTED TO HESITATE. ONCE I GOT TO A PLACE TO STOP IT WOULD NOT MOVE. I HAVE SPENT OVER $3500 SO FAR AND IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN. I AM GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE IT TOWED IN AGAIN AND THEY IT MIGHT BE THE MOTOR. I ONLY HAVE A LITTLE OVER 41000 MILE ON THIS VEHICLE AND I CAN'T AFFORD ANY MORE COST LIKE THIS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE ARE OTHER COMPLIANTS AND WHAT YOU ARE DOING ABOUT THIS ISSUE.
