Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Since we bought the car, it has been to the dealership repair shop 5 times, for the same problem. the car begins to have problems shifting gears, it loses power, as not going higher than 20-30 miles. when the gas pedal is applied, the car gets stuck for several seconds before it jerks and begins to run again. everytime we take it in they repair the pulse generator. the pulse generator has been changes two time in the last three months alone (june, august), and now its ready to go back into the shop again. it is getting worse, it is becoming a safety issue because it gets stuck anywhere, and can get hit from behind, or get into an accident when it stops in the middle of a cross section. *jb
