Tribute LX 3.0L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 133,586 miles

I just purchased this car from an auction on 9/25/17. First car started shaking and oil light starting flickering it wasn't much oil in vehicle so I added oil, but oil light it still flickering. One day I drove and engine light came on and took to Auto Zone they put on machine and printout said it need ignition coil & 1 sensor. Took to a mechanic which cost $650.00 he changed all sensors & spark-plugs so he claimed, but car does drive better. Now the oil light still flickering after car has been driven a while. One thing I noticed that SCARES ME is this car accelerates on its own constantly. If anyone knows if this vehicle has a recall for this situation please let me know I have a Mazda Tribute 2002. I thought the acceleration was something that would go away or would happen once, but it happens constantly it just takes off. Thanks
