“Have had the transmission worked on 3 different times. The third time they put in a new transmission. Which I had to pay for. The paint is peeling off and leaving big bare spots. I have had my right back door worked on several times because the locks wouldn't open and the windows would not roll down right now my right rear window and my left front window will not roll down!!! My car hesitates and jumps when I am going about 20-40 miles per hour, and when I hit 50-60 MPH my steering wheel starts to vibrate. My brakes squeak but we don't see nothing wrong. …”
