They took my car back to do the recalls and my son and I waited . Once they were done we left closer to closing time is noticed there was a burn mark on my dash board that wasn\u2019t there before the recalls. Going forward on the way home. We were waved down by a man stating that my signal and brake light weren\u2019t working . So that next day we took my car back to the dealership to see what happen, why all the sudden different alerts were coming up. They had the same mechanic relook at the car and a when finish 31/2 hour latter was told I needed a new transmission, costing $7384.94 which I don\u2019t have . They charge me $179.00  just to confirm what they said about needing a new transmission. I was devastated and confused why I wasn\u2019t told that the day before. So a few days later I took it to another machanic to see if the could see why the lights weren\u2019t working and he ended up putting new bulbs in and got them working but also he put it in a diagnosis machine 2 of them and couldn\u2019t get a reading at all and said I should take it back to find out why he couldn\u2019t get a reading. I was so frustrated at that point I just was upset! I then had a friend of the family mechanic look at it and he said it wasn\u2019t the transmission it was a knock sensor that I needed so I ordered it. When I called him to install the knock sensor he was too busy to do it and it had already  been a whole month of waiting so I reached out to a place in Cumberland RI to see if he could install the knock sensor had it towed there and he kept it for three days and said it was a transmission computer and he tried two of them and neither of them worked and charged me $150 for that I was humiliated and crying , I went there to have my car towed home seen him while waiting for the tow truck to come he said I needed a new transmission and now a motor, crying again.
