Consumer Description

I BOUGHT THIS CAR MID-APRIL OF THIS YEAR, HAD IT TWO WEEKS AND GET CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. MY CHILDREN AND I COULD HAVE BEEN HURT BECAUSE OF THIS. SINCE THEN, THE CAR HAS CUT OFF A TOTAL OF EIGHT TIMES AND IT'S ONLY BEEN A MONTH THAT I HAVE HAD THIS CAR. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR BACK FOR SERVICE A TOTAL OF 3 TIMES AND THE MECHANICS ARE SAYING THAT THE COMPUTER ISN'T READING ANY PROBLEMS. THEY HAVE HAD MY CAR ALL WEEK TO TRY TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY ARE SAYING THAT THEY MUST DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM TO DIAGNOSE A REMEDY. I HAVE BEEN INCONVIENCED AND DISAPPOINTED IN ALL ASPECTS OF THIS SITUATION. WHAT WERE THEY DOING TO DIAGNOSE PROBLEMS BEFORE COMPUTERS WERE INVENTED? I BELIEVE THAT THEY (THE MECHANICS) NEED TO GO BACK TO THAT LONG LOST SKILL TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM AND FIX MY CAR. I AM TOTALLY DISGUSTED IN THIS WHOLE MATTER. *AK
