Consumer Description

I HAVE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL FOR A CAR I OWNED(98 OLDS INTRIGUE). I BOUGHT THE CAR O6..OR 05...I REALLY LIKED THIS CAR .BUT ALL AT ONCE IT STARTED CHUGGING ON MY WAY HOME ONE NIGHT.. I GOT HOME AND JUST LEFT THE CAR SIT. NEXT MORNING I TRIED TO START IT BUT IT WOULD START... I WAS TOLD TO GET A NEW BATTERY...I DID.. THAT WASN'T IT.... I WAS TOLD TO BUY A NEW STARTER... STILL DIDN'T WORK... FINALLY HAD IT TOWED TO LOCAL SHOP.... WHEN HE TRIED TO START IT AND BACKFIRE VERY LOUD AND STARTED ON FIRE... I WAS TOLD.. THE ENGINE WAS NO GOOD... I ENDED UP SELLING THE CAR FOR 600...THAT HURT.... BEING I HAD TO FIND RIDES TO WORK FOR ABOUT A MONTH... I HAD TO BORROW MONEY TO GET A MUCH CHEAPER CAR THAT IM NOT REAL HAPPY WITH BUT HAD NO CHOICE... MUST GET TO WORK. I GUESS IM JUST WONDERING IF THERE IS ANY THING THAT I WOULD BE ENTITLED TO BECAUSE I NOW KNOW IT WAS TO DO WITH A PLASTIC SPARKPLUG WIRE WHEN IT WAS MADE? MY DATES ARE ALL APPROX. *TR
