Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING EAST ON US HWY 2 AT 35 MPH WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE AND WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE RIGHT LANE WITH NO TRAFFIC COMING. THIS HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES IN A 2 MILE DISTANCE. I PARKED THE CAR AND IMMEDIATELY NOTIFIED CHEVY AND MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALER. CHEVY TOLD ME MY CAR HAD A RECALL THAT WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL APRIL 1. VON HOLZEN CHEVY DEALER SAID UNLESS THEY KNEW WHAT WAS WRONG AND I PAID 600 THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT. *TR
