When i turn on my 2004 lincoln aviator to warm up in the morning the smell of the gas is so strong. when i am at a red light or stop sign the car shakes so much that i have to put it the car in neutral to avoid the car from turning off. when i am driving the car jerks and stalls i feel scared when driving on the freeway because my car sometimes doesn't go as fast as the other cars because it stalls. the car drives rough and makes a whining noise all the time. everytime i turn on the ac it makes a loud popping sound. i have not had my vehicle fixed or looked at due to my financial circumstance. my vehicle does not have warranty. i fear for the safety of me, my family and the public when i drive this vehicle. *tr
