Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING BACK FROM WORK TO THE PLACE I WAS STAYING AT THE TIME AND WHEN I WAS ABOUT 5 MILES AWAY, MY CAR (2003 CHEVY CAVALIER) DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF ME DRIVING. I WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN TIME JUST BEFORE IT COMPLETELY CONKED OUT. THIS WAS THE FIRST OCCURRENCE. THE CHEVY WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST SHOP WHERE I DIDN'T FIND OUT UNTIL THE NEXT MORNING THAT IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP THAT HAD DIED. THE REPAIR HAD COST $775.06. *TR
