Consumer Description

MY WIFE AND I HAD DRIVEN OVER TO MELBOURNE, FL ON OCT. 15 TO ATTEND GRANDSON'S WEDDING OCT. 16. DUE TO MY PARKINSON'S DISEASE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING US AROUND THE AREA ON SUNDAY TO SEE THINGS SINCE WE USED TO LIVE IN MELBOURNE. RIGHT IN FRONT OF OUR OLD CHURCH THE VAN JUST STOPPED ITS FORWARD MOTION AND WE WERE BARELY ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE 3-LANE ROAD. A POLICEMAN DIRECTING CHURCH TRAFFIC PUSHED US OFF THE BUSY ROAD WHERE WE AWAITED TOW TRUCK. SINCE IT WAS SUNDAY NO REPAIR SHOP WAS OPEN SO TOW TRUCK DROPPED OFF VAN IN REPAIR SHOP PARKING LOT AND THEN TOOK US BACK TO OUR MOTEL WHERE WE TRIED TO GET A RENTAL CAR BUT RENTAL CAR PLACES ALSO CLOSED AND WE HAD TO WAIT UNTIL MONDAY TO GET ONE. HAD TO ORDER IN PIZZA FOR DINNER. WE HAD TO ADD TWO MORE NIGHTS TO OUR MOTEL STAY, HAD COST OF RENTAL CAR FOR THAT TIME AND THE TRANSMISSION COST US $2238.11. IF THIS PROBLEM HAD OCCURRED THE DAY OF THE WEDDING WE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN DANGER BECAUSE WE HAD TO TRAVEL FROM COCOA BEACH BACK TO MELBOURNE MOTEL AT 11:00 AT NIGHT ON I-95. SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER IN THAT SCENERIO COULD HAVE ENDED UP BEING TRAGIC.
