Engine check light and overdrive light would flash, second time vehicle just quit, this was second transmission vehicle has had.

Check engine light on & o/d light flashes after almost every 300 miles since recall campaign to replace orvr valves was serviced by dealer. O/d light flashes would then follow engine stalling (after driven 150 miles) and would only crank engine but wont start. Also after orvr was replaced, every full tank of fuel ( 12. 7 gals. ) would cause hesitation but would go away after driven for 8 miles . Engine stalling luckily occurred only on street roads but could pose serious risk if it would happen on freeways.

I started taking my car in to the mechanic at the dealership shortly after I purchased the car about the car not shifting correctly and being so sluggish. I'm not sure about the dates I took the car in but it was several times. I was told that nothing was wrong or they couldn't find any problems. It has just gotten so bad that I'm not able to drive the car now. I've had problems with the brakes, the air conditioner, check engine light coming on and staying on and the overdrive light flashing on and off. I'm sure they don't have a record of the many times I've gone by because they would usually just look at it or drive it around the block and say they couldn't find anything. Now that the warranty is out , they have come up with some suggestions at my expense. The car has never performed properly and they just kept putting me off until I finally gave up. I am unable to drive the car now because it will barely get up to 35 miles per hour. I will greatly appreciate anything you may be able to do to assist me. Thanks.
