Every thing on my car was fine minus the hard shifting in the transmission, until it hit the 77,000 mile mark. the check engine light came on had the fuel filter replaced along with a new cover gasket. Then at 79,000 miles I went ahead and changed out both belts along with the water pump and also got a fuel injection cleaning and tune up, needless to say this was not cheap. I thought my car would be good to go after this of course with regular oil changes. wrong. I know have 83,000 miles on this car and am totally pissed. I was on my way to work when all of a sudden the car began to sputter and shake really hard. when I got to the stop light the check engine light came on and began blinking, and when I pulled off the car took forever to get up to speed. I took it to the dealer they said two of the cylinders 1 and 4 are misfiring. they had the car for three weeks and can't figure it out they have replaced spark plugs, wires, the coil pack and even a cam shaft censor. nothing has fixed the problem I finally gave up and demanded my car back. so now I am riding around with a great looking piece of crap that scares the hell out of me whenever I get to a stop light or try to accelerate from one.
The a/c blowers are OK. and the brakes are good.
I have the exact same problem!! I am at 87,000 miles and my car will start shaking like it has slipped out of gear, if I am stopped and try accelerate. It scares me to death to drive my car when it's like that.
I've taken it to a transmission mechanic, and he replaced some wires and my check engine light is on, and now he can't figure out what is wrong with it! I don't know about you, but I'm car shopping.
