cannot find symbol; symbol : constructor error
Hi,
I am fairly new to java and working on an inheritance example and I get the following error """TestAuto.java": cannot find symbol; symbol : constructor Auto(java.lang.String,java.lang.String,java.lang.String,java.lang.String), location: class Auto at line 9, column 17" and ""TestAuto.java": internal error; cannot instantiate Auto.<init> at Auto to () at line 6, column 17" in this program. Each instantiation comes up with a similar error.
From everything I have looked at I am trying to create/initialize it correctly.I know it must be something simple. Please help.

import java.io.*;
public class Auto {
private String make = " ";
private int cylinders = 0;
private String transmission = " ";
private String color = " ";
private String autodetails = " ";
public Auto(String autoMake, int autoCylinders, String autoTransmission, String autoColor) {
make = autoMake;
cylinders = autoCylinders;
transmission = autoTransmission;
color = autoColor;
}
public String printInfo(){
autodetails = "A " + color + ", " + transmission + " transmission, v" + cylinders + make + " automobile.";
return(autodetails);
}
}
class Truck extends Auto {
int towCapacity;
int groundClearance;
private String truckdetails;

super(truckMake, truckCylinders, truckTransmission, truckColor);
towCapacity = truckTowCapacity;
