| I had just bought this car from a private owner for my sister to drive to work. well not even before we got home the main eec iv computer died so the car would not run. once we figured out it was the main computer and replaced it it ran fine. but we still had two bad front air struts to fix. after all that she finally got to drive it to work and the first day she drove the car she did not even make it home because the transmission just stopped working. so she is out a car and we do not have the money to fix it. because of all the other cars my poor sister has owned drained us. | |||
