What owners wrote

I haven't had the car for a year yet and I have already had the catalytic converter replaced twice & the engine replaced because there was no oil in it. What kind of car has these kind of problems? The gears shift hard now to where it about jerks you and I drive an automatic. Not to mention the dealership wouldn't even give me a rental while they had to practically replace the entire engine. *nlm
