Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I got my car in may, 2006. it was brand new when i bought it, but it was in the shop only six days after. i began to notice that my car would jerk when it was shifting gears (although it was an automatic). over about a week's time, it got much worse and i had to bring it in for repairs. i was told that the transmission had not been updated. i brought it back three more times with the same problem. the 4th time i brought it back, it was so bad that not only was it jerking while shifting, but while staying at a steady speed as well. finally, my check engine light came on because my transmission was bad. at the same time, my passengers side airbag sensor was not working. i would sit in the seat and the light would come on saying "passengers airbag off." i brought it back more than 4 times for both the airbag and transmission. sometimes, i would be told they "could not duplicate the concern" and therefore, they could not fix it. other times, i would be told my car had been updated and fixed and that i should not have any other problems. after only 5 months of owning the car, i had to file a lemon law application. neither my transmission or my airbag have been fixed, and i am currently driving a car with a bad transmission and no passengers side airbag. *jb
