SERVICE BRAKES, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I PURCHASED THIS CAR 2 YEARS AGO WITH THE TITLE, JUST HAVING IT AT MY PARENTS HOUSE BECAUSE I HAVE ANOTHER CAR. I DROVE IT BACK TO MEMPHIS ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT JERKED, CUT THE CAR OFF TURN IT BACK ON IT DRIVES NO MORE THAN 30 MPH. GOT A READING AT 2 DIFFERENT AUTO ZONES, AND GOT A TUNE UP, OIL CHANGE, AND WIRE COILS THAT GO WITH THE CAR. STILL THE SAME PROBLEM. SO I DRIVE THE CAR BACK TO MY PARENTS HOUSE A HOUR AWAY FROM MEMPHIS AND IT'S GOING SLOW, SO OF COURSE LAW ENFORCEMENT HAD SOME QUESTIONS THAT ALMOST ALLOWED ME TO GET THE CAR TOWED AT THE TIMES WITH THE CORONAVIRUS GOING ON AS WELL.. SO, AFTER I GET MY SLOW CAR OUT THE IMPOUND, I LOOKED ON CARS.COM AND I SEE A PREVIOUS RECALL ON MY CAR THAT I DIDN'T SEE AT THE TIME OR PURCHASE OR HAD ANY IDEA OF, THAT MIGHT BE A LITTLE TO LATE TO FIX EVEN THOUGH THESE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS I'M HAVING AT THIS PRESENT MOMENT. MY CAR JERKS BACK WHEN TRYING TO PUT IT IN THE REVERSE OR DRIVE. SO, I GO BACK TO AUTOZONE, IN THE LITTLE TOWN BECAUSE NOW I'M AFRAID TO MOVE MY CAR BECAUSE OF THE DANGER IT'S IN. AUTOZOBE DON'T WANT TO DO THE READING SO I DO IT MYSELF BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED TO GET INTO PEOPLE CARS AT THIS TIME. SO, KEEP IN MIND I'VE GOT THE WORK DONE TO THE CAR AND I'M COMING BACK TO CONFIRM THAT I DID DO THOSE THINGS. THE MAN WHO WORKED AT AUTOZONE TOLD ME IT WAS SOMETHING WITH MY WIRING, AND TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THEY CANNOT FIND THE PART NEEDED IN THE STORE I SEEN IT WITH MY OWN EYES THE SCREEN TURN BLANK. TOOK IT TO DODGE, THEY JUST REPLACE THE AIR BAGS, AND OF COURSE OFFER TO MAKE ME SPEND MONEY. I TOLD THEM ABOUT THE PREVIOUS RECALL ON MY CAR AND NO ONE HELPED EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A MAXIMUM 10 YEARS. BUT IF THESE CARS ARE STILL SELLING AND BEING USED THERE SHOULDN'T BE ANY TIME FRAME FOR THE PROBLEM TO BE FIXED BECAUSE THE CAR IS NOW UNSAFE AND UNUSABLE, AND THE OWNER OUT OF MONEY.
