I was driving down the road and the transmission started slipping. Then another day the car died going down the road. I managed to get off the road, and then I got it started back up ,and was going home and the car stopped running again. When I got it running again I took it home, and I am afraid to drive it again. I bought it at a used car dealer and it only had 37,000 miles on it when it bought it. It is not quite 93,000 miles on it now and I am still having to pay for something that I am afraid to drive. I have replaced the brake pads 3 times. The dya it quit running twice with me is Dec. 21 merry christmas to me. I didn't have the money to take it to a mechanic. So I just parked it in my backyard.
Transmission is not working properly,. Gears have become harder to change, and when driving, transmission will slip at times. Contacted dealer. Please provide further information.
