The vehicle has been in and out of the shop for the last year. The car has significant vibration when turning on my AC and lights. The gas mileage has dropped from 30mpg to 17 mpg. The car lunges forward when taking of and starting. I was involved in a collision where the issues partially caused me to rear end someone. The car was totaled.
