Consumer Description

DT: BOUGHT VEHICLE BRAND NEW AND IT HAS BEEN IN THE REPAIR SHOP 15 TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. IT IS DYING AT RANDOM FOR NO REASON AND WILL NOT START BACK. SOMETIMES IT TAKES UP TO 20 MINUTES OR LONGER BEFORE IT WILL RESTART. MECHANIC HAD NO IDEA WHY THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP, BUT NO ONE COULD FIGURE THIS OUT. TWO WEEKS AGO THE CAR WAS SUBJECTED TO A PRESSURIZED TEST. CONSUMER HAS THE CAR TOWED ON 5-31-2005 BECAUSE IT DIED, AND DID RESTART. THERE HAVE BEEN LOTS OF PROBLEMS TO TRY TO CORRECT, BUT NOTHING WORKED. THE CAR WAS KEPT AT THE DEALER FOR UP TO TWO WEEKS AT A TIME.*AK
