Description of the problem	I had purchased this auto in may 2017. From a used car dealership. They had gotten the auto from a auto auction. When i purchased the auto - i purchased as is- no warranty- i test drove auto- had inspected- no major problems at that time. Had auto for a week- broke down- problems::::: very slow acceleration, shifting gears and jerking of the auto, very fast idling when stopping- i am writing to you because :::::after purchasing auto::::- can not drive. I have had 3 estimates- no one really knows what is wrong with the auto or diagnose the auto properly. I am unable to drive since i purchased the auto. It just sits, and when i think the problem is fixed, then it stops running. Some say it is the :::::catalytic converters - it has 3 that needs replaced.::::::: i reported in my residence better business bureau - complaint resolution and to the attorney general office- both said they not not resolve :::: the dealership- does not want to mediate - or take back the auto. I could not afford to file a claim- in small claims court- and did not know if it would be worth my time. ::::::::: i know the auto is 2005 and has 189,000 now- but i feel that i have a auto now that is a safety hazard- if i am able to get the auto running - and it jerks around- and stops in traffic - it could cause me to have a accident. It is unsafe to have the auto on road at all.. It is also a environmental problem due to the unsafe catalytic converters- they get hot and can catch on fire.:::::::::: i can not find mechanics that want to work with the converters................. I paid 3,000 for the auto- it will cost this or more to actually fix the auto............. I am writing to the nhtsa- to get any feedback from you. Sincerely, m- very frustrated driver
