SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE REPEATEDLY GOT MY CAR SENT TO A REPAIR SHOP FOR SCREECHING TRANSMISSION & BRAKES. EVERY TIME NO ONE CAN FIND AN ISSUE AND THE NEXT DAY THE NOISES WILL COME BACK AGAIN. RECENTLY ONCE AGAIN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. I HAVE CONSTANTLY STATED THERE IS OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION SINCE THE FIRST MONTH OF BUYING THIS CAR, BUT NO ONE CAN FIND ANYTHING SO EVERYTHING IS GOOD WITH THE CAR APPARENTLY. ITS NOT SAFE DO SOMETHING & I'VE FILLED A COMPLAINT BEFORE AND GOTTEN NO RESPONSE. RECENT INCIDENT: THE CAR IS CURRENTLY WAS STATIONARY WHEN I TRIED TURNING ON MY CAR AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE PAST INCIDENTS: I WAS IN MOTION ON A 40MPH ROAD AND THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF. THE REPAIR SHOP TOOK A CRANK PIECE OUT BUT THAT'S NOT MAIN PROBLEM SINCE 2 WEEKS LATER MY CAR DOESN'T WANT TO TURN ON.*DT*JB*DT CONSUMER STATED SHE FOUND THE PROBLEM WITH THE SENSOR.*JB
