Grammar

Relative clause + indirect question statement

Good Afternoon!

Even if informal, are the following sentences correct under a grammatical point of view?

“I am driving a car which I do not know how long I can use.”

“I am driving a car which I do not know how fast can go.”


What about this sentence, which I found on a book and confused me a lot:

“I am driving a car that I do not know how fast it can go.”

Thank you in advance.

All your sentences look incorrect to me. My suggestions: I am driving a car, but I don't know how long I can use it. I am driving a car, but I don't know how fast it is.

Thank you.

I appreciate your suggestion.

However I found those sentences in my English book and I would like to understand why the first and the third sentences were considered correct and the second wrong by the author. In my opinion the first and the second should be acceptable...

Your opinion would be appreciated. Thanks.
