I have had a problem with slow speed hesitation since I bought the car. It started telling me I needed service since it had ???Where did it go!!!  
.around 17…that is a bummer. I should have taken the car  
back, I live in the mountains and it just is not convenient to go there and sit for hours. For the small amount to service they gave me…changed my oil and that part I was there for 2 1/2 hours. I know that SERVICE is the bread and butter of an agency…will I go there again, probably NOT.  
WHY ARE TAKING OUT WHAT I AM TYPING!!! AND CHANGING WHAT I AM SAYING  
There is plenty of space below,SHAME ON YOU!!!  
You took out everything about my NOW terrible gas mileage…I will not retype it all  
From 23/24 miles a gallon to…17/15…A few times has been as BAD AS …12 MILES A GALLON. This is really great!!!1 Serviced at 46?? miles…currently have 6000  
Purchased…8/13/17
