Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ONE NIGHT TO MY FRIENDS HOUSE ABOUT 10 - 15 MILES AWAY FROM MY HOUSE. AS I WAS DRIVING MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP, SO I DRIFTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TRIED TO START MY CAR UP. I STARTED IT ABOUT 3 MORE TIMES THEN IT FINALLY CAME BACK ON, AS I KEPT DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IT HAPPENED YET AGAIN. LATELY IT'S JUST BEEN HAPPENING EVERY NOW AND THEN BUT I'M CONSTANTLY ON FAST BUSY ROADS AND IF THIS HAPPENS I CAN'T ALWAYS GET OVER AND IT COULD END UP GETTING ME AND ANYONE WITH ME HURT. I'VE TRIED TAKING IT TO PEOPLE BUT NOBODY KNOWS WHAT GOING ON AND I'VE EVEN CALLED CHEVY AND THEY CAN'T TELL ME ANYTHING. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THEM BEFORE AND $483 WASTED BECAUSE THEY "COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT" THIS STARTING TO BECOME A PROBLEM BECAUSE I NEED RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION. *TR
