It’s not that I don’t want to buy a new vehicle, like I said in my post, I’m leaving a DV relationship (domestic violence) The vehicle isn’t paid off, and for financial reasons I cannot sell it until next summer at the earliest.

So yeah. For right now I can barely afford to give them a Christmas, let alone by a new car. That’s why I haven’t taken it to the shop yet. When things get better for us, of course, I would love to buy a different vehicle, right now it’s not feasible.

Just trying to see if anyone might know if this is something dire, bc Im freaking out about what to do if it dies.
