I just got this car in April of this year from Fink's Used Auto Sales in South Zanesville, Ohio. It was basically pushed on me from the salesman, who told me it would be a good car for me. I am 68, single, no kids, no one to really go to bat for me and help me with anything, so I trusted him. Right off the bat, the passenger window stopped working, so they did fix it, I didn't have the car for a week. Then, I took it for an oil change. The guy put the hood up, and found the oil cap was sitting on the engine, and oil was everywhere, even dripping from the opening inside the hood. So, I complained, they shrugged it off as my problem. Then, the engine shut down, would not start. Was not the battery, but my neighbor came and put his diagnostic on it, and it showed all sensors down. I complained again, and finally, Fink's took it and had it another week, and proclaimed it fixed.

It runs, but from the beginning, I have felt the jerkiness in shifting, and when I am driving, if I let up on the gas, the car immediately almost slows to a stop. It is very uncomfortable, and I know I would not be comfortable driving it on the highway or out of town. I bought this car "as is" and I have been told I am not to come back with any other issues.
