| Description of the problem | Car would not start so replaced the battery. The next day the battery was dead again. Took it to a mechanic they stated it was a short in the brake light switch. Also, while driving the car and taking off from a stop sign, red light it would not accelerate while pressing the pedal an seemed like transmission was slipping. While driving down the interstate at 70mph the car would lose acceleration dropping my speed to 40 mph. Causing me to almost cause an accident with cars behind me having to slam on their brakes. |
