Every since I first got car it has had problems.all the wires under the melted together and caused corrosion. Since then radio blinked on and off til now it's just a black screen. Had problems with cam shaft control. Have purchased 4 batteries in 6 years. There's something electrical that blows the batteries. If I start my car with automatic start from fob it causes battery problems. Check engine light is on now and I had it checked the code is for transmission control module. The car will be fine for a week or so but then while driving it changes gears and slows down as if it wants to stop.. it's very dangerous. Sometimes while putting the car in drive it will not accelerate even though I put my foot to the ground. Finally it will pick up speed. I'm not sure what's wrong with this car but I believe it's electrical and it's the same thing that caused the radios to go out. Sometimes the stability traction light will illuminate then it goes away for amonths. I'm afraid to drive my car. I've been on the highway doing 60 and it will switch gears and says speed is too fast for engine.. please help!!!

I was never warned about my car not having oil. The oil indicator light never came on that I needed to get oil soon. My car was making a lot of noise when I was putting my foot on the gas. My car always locks up on me as if I don't have my keys when I pull up in front of the 7/11 store near my house. Key not detected comes on. I was able to drive my car without having the key with me. None of the signals to inform me that I needed oil, brakes etc...
