Consumer Description

CAR WONT ALWAYS START, HAVE TO WAIT 10-20 MINUTES FOR IT TO START AND NOT ALL OF US HAVE TIME TO WAIT FOR THIS TO HAPPEN, PEOPLE HAVE PLACES TO BE, THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN TWO MONTHS AND HAS NOW HAPPENED 5 TIMES IN ONE WEEK AND THE CAR SHUT OFF TWICE WHILE DRIVING THE OTHER DAY AS WELL AS GETTING STUCK FOR 20 MINUTES IN THE COLD AT THE GAS STATION WAITING FOR IT TO START. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS AS IT IS OBVIOUSLY NOT SAFE AND THE FACT THAT THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL IS RIDICULOUS! HAVE READ SO MANY DIFFERENT STORIES ON WHAT TO REPLACE AND I DON'T WANT TO BE SPENDING MONEY ON POINTLESS PARTS!! *TR
