Consumer Description

MY CAR STALLS WHEN AT IDLE. I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR 6 MONTHS AND I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP 5 TIMES. NOW IT IS CUTTING OFF ON ME. EVERYTIME I TAKE IT BACK THEY CLEAN THE SPARK PLUGS AND RESET THE COMPUTER, BUT THAT DOESN'T DO ANY GOOD, IT ACTUALLY MAKES IT WORST. I THINK THIS CAAR IS A WASTE OF MONEY. *AK
