Example complaints

“I changed the camshaft sensor because it gave me an error code since my car was taking too long to turn over. Than the slip and vfc off light came on and my car would jerk and the brake light would come on and it would just stop completely. Than I changed a coil and the oil. Now the oil is completely empty within 2 weeks. And I'm constantly putting gas and it's like the gage doesn't work. Because sometimes it's completely full and the gage will read half tank. Now it's giving me another code and saying there is a misfire. If I turn the AC on the shaking is worse and it smells horrible.”
