“I have had numerous ongoing problems with this car. The check engine lite still comes on intermittenly for no obvious reason and I have replaced the cars whole processor and still have problems. Now I have a grinding noise and a vibration when I go to apply my brakes. Put new brake shoes on 1 week ago and rotors were in good shape so still have no idea what the problem is now. I have exhaust fumes or gas fumes inside the vehicle at times. Please, please help me. I can't afford much more. I have all the basic oil changes done at 3000 miles and have every thing fixed right away. …”
