NHTSA Complaint #10139395 — 2004 CHEVROLET CAVALIER

I BOUGHT THE CAR USED WITH OVER 29,000 MILES ON IT IN JULY OF 2005. THE CAR STOPS RUNNING AT ANY SPEED TRAVELED, EVERYTHING LOCKS UP SO IT IS HARD TO STEER OFF THE ROAD. AFTER I FINALLY PULL OF THE ROAD I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURN THE IGNITION KEY OFF AND THEN TURN IT ON AGAIN IT STARTS BACK UP. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT " SINCE IT WONT HAPPEN TO THEM WHILE THEY DRIVE IT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG, SO GO HOME AND CALL US IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN." SO I DID. THE 2ND TIME IT WAS IN THE DEALERSHIP THEY PUT IT ON A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND FIXED 2 THINGS. NOW THE WARRANTY ENDS AND IT IS STILL DOING THE PROBLEM. I HAVE CALLED AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT BUT WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS ANYWAYS BECAUSE THE WARRANTY ENDED A LITTLE OVER 1,000 MILES AGO. I DRIVE IN THIS CAR EVERYDAY TO WORK WHICH IS A HALF HOUR AWAY FROM MY HOUSE AND TO SCHOOL 1 DAY A WEEK WHICH IS 3.5 HOURS FROM MY HOUSE. I ALSO HAVE MY CHILD IN THIS CAR AT ALL TIMES. I FEEL THIS CAR IS A HAZARD TO ALL THAT DRIVES IN IT AND I HONESTLY FEEL THAT THERE MAY BE AN ACCIDENT IN THE FUTURE IF THIS DOESN'T GET FIXED. *JB
