After running back and forth with the kids, stopping at a light or sign, the car will start vibrating. Giving it some gas it smooths out but once you let off the pedal its back to shaking it baby.

Well lets see, it would be a very short list of the things that still work correctly in this dried out turd, but lets skip that and head straight to one of its many problems. I've had the fuel filter replaced, nothing. I've had the air filter replaced, nothing. I've had a pro clean out the fuel injectors, it worked for about a week. I've replaced all the plugs and wires, NOTHING. I've given up on this car, and want a new one , but I can't really sell it or trade it in. Plus I still owe about 3000 for it. And now the trans. is going out and i'ts only at 98000 miles! I must thank Underriner Motors of Billings Montana for making me such a great deal on this p.o.s. car.

As a single mom and having to drive my son to and from school and then drive myself to and from work plus go to evening school, I thought I had purchased a car that did not need too much TLC, but it has only been three months and this annoying noise is just not looking good, can't afford to be without a car. The annoying jerking, vibration does not happen when the car is moving only when I stop at a light or stop sign, it's like it is going to die on me.
