IN THE LAST 8 DAYS WHEN I START UP THE CAR TO DRIVE AND GET ON THE ROAD, SEVERE SHAKING OF THE CAR LIKE A FLAT TIRE OR THE FRONT END WAS OUT OF ALIGNMENT. THE FIRST TIME I CALLED ON STAR FOR ASSISTANCE. THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG? IT STOPPED BOTH TIMES AFTER ABOUT 8 MIN OF DRIVING. IT WAS SCARY. WHEN I PARK THE CAR THE DIAL HANDS ON THE DASH THE TAC. AND THE SPEED DIAL JUMP LIKE A SHORTAGE IN IT. NOT LONG AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR, THE POWER STEERING FAILED WITH ME AND THE CAR SHUT OFF SEVERAL TIMES. I TOOK IT TO VIDALIA GA FOR REPAIR. THEY GAVE IT BACK TO ME AND SAID IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN TO PUSH THE INFO BUTTON AND RESTART THE CAR. I AM SCARED OF MY CAR. HELP ME PLEASE. *TR

AFTER COMING TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT, WITH THE BRAKE APPLIED THE CAR STARTED LUNGING FORWARD. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME, BUT HAPPENS OFTEN. IT FEELS LIKE YOU ARE SITTING THERE PUMPING THE BRAKES WHEN YOU ARE NOT AND HAVE PEDAL PRESSED ALL THE WAY DOWN. *TR
