Consumer Description

I GET 14 MILES TO THE GAL ON THE FREEWAY THE STICKER SAID 19. THE ENGINE SHAKES AT IDLE. IT HAS A LEAN IDLE MISS. THE SHAKING IS VERY BAD AT TIMES. TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT RIGHT, CAUSING BAD GAS MILEAGE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THREE DIFFERENT DEALERS THEY ALL SAY THERE IS NO PROBLEM. BUT 14 MILES TO THE GAL IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.*AK
