While I was driving down my street, my car started shaking & my engine, oil & traction service lights came on. The engine service power detector came on my dashboard. I had to miss work & called the dealership & informed the mechanic of the problem. He asked me to drive it in. I informed him that I didn't feel safe driving on the streets or the highway. The mechanic offered for me to use their towing company but they charge. I informed them that I have towing service. The car was towed that day & on Friday, I received a call; while I was at work from the mechanic stating that they checked the car out & the front throttle body had to be replaced due to a sensor being faulty. The cost of repairs would be $575. I just purchased this car on 4/19/14 from jim trenary in O'fallon mo & 3 weeks later, I had to have it towed to the dealership for the accelerator pedal failing. The dealership did pay for that expense but not this one because the electrical problem isn't covered under the power train warranty. I feel like they are trying to get over on me because I am a woman & don't know much about cars. I called to see if they could try to fix it for less but was informed that the throttle body needed to be replaced in order for the sensor to be put in. I have to still pay the note every month on a vehicle that was assured at the time of the sale was safe & would have any problems because it was taken care of including the replacement of the power switch ignition. I sent a text to my salesman asking to be put in another vehicle but to my dismay, he informed me that I can't trade out of my vehicle for 18-24 months. I feel like I shouldn't have to pay the $575 & the mechanic is trying to get over because I am a woman. I informed the mechanic that I can't afford to pay the $575 because I don't make that much & have other bills to take care of. I bought that car for reliability.
