bought this car used from a dealer,within a month had to have it towed twice!Don't know what they did to get it running but it only lasted a short while!Then took it to a garage to finr the problem;they had it for two weeks replaced something at a cost of over $900.00 for repairs.Well this only lasted about one year then the same thing happened .That time I had ti have it towed where the mechanic saID TO BE SURE TO KEEP THE OIL AND FILTER CHANGED REGULAR AND THAT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM,THAT DID NOT WORK EITHER.TODAY I AM STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.On easter I took my mother iut for a drive since it was a nice day and as we were driving down a country road it just died.I had to sit and wait for half an hour to get it started then about 6 miles down the road it died again! On Monday i drove my grand children to school (about 1/2 mile) and it stalled again.All I would like to know is what is causing this and how I may cure it.I have had all new spark plugs and wires and a new fuel line filter put on.That did not help,nor did putting gas additive in!!! Please help,as I can not afford to buy another car
