NHTSA Complaint #10568250 — 2007 SATURN OUTLOOK

THE DAY OF THE PURCHASE (12/2012) OF THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP WHO I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM (KIA DEALERSHIP) AND WAS INFORMED THE TRUCK WAS PROBABLY LOW ON GAS. THE FOLLOWING DAY, I CALLED AND PHYSICALLY VISITED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT HELP ME. FOR ME TO SEEK GMC.. DURING MY VISIT WITH ED MORSE GMC IN TAMPA, A DIAGNOSTIC WAS PERFORMED AND TONS OF RECALLS POPULATED WHICH THEY WERE PLEASANT ENOUGH IN FIXING. NOTHING WAS DONE ABOUT THE ENGINE LIGHT AS THEY WERE UNABLE TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM. ON FEB 15, 2014, I HEADED ON THE INTERSTATE TO DROP OF MY SON AND THE TRUCK JERKED. I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY MAKE MY WAY THREE LANES TO PULL OVER BC THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHUT DOWN. ONCE I PULLED OVER, IT DIDN'T WANT TO GO INTO DRIVE. I WAITED APPROXIMATELY 30-45 MINUTES, TURNED ON THE CAR, PUT IT ON DRIVE AND NOTHING. I THEN PLACED IT IN NEUTRAL AND IT BEGAN TO DRIVE, I PLACED IT IN DRIVE AND IT BEGAN TO REVERSE. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME AFTER ALMOST A 2 HOURS? DRIVE AT 25-30 MPH BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT GO ANY FASTER THAN THAT. DAYS AFTER, THE TRUCK SEEMED FINE. I TOOK IT AGAIN TO ED MORSE GMC IN TAMPA WHO INFORMED MANY CODES POPULATED (AGAIN) BUT WAS IN HISTORY. THE MECHANIC STATED TO COME BACK IN TWO WEEKS TO HAVE IT RETESTED. DOCUMENTS WERE PROVIDED TO ME. EVERY CODE WAS PART OF THE POWERTRAIN/ TRANSMISSION. I DIDN'T GET THE CHANCE TO BRING IT BACK AS SCHEDULED BECAUSE A FEW DAYS AFTER; FEB 22, I HEADED FOR DRILL (NATION GUARD) AND THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHUT DOWN WHERE A SEMI ALMOST REARED ME TO DEATH. THANKFULLY HE SWERVED AND I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY MERGE ONTO THE GRASS. I WAITED A FEW MINUTES NOT KNOWING WHAT TO DO BECAUSE I WAS SO ANGRY AND NERVOUS THAT I RETURN HOME TO GET MY WIFE'S CAR. UPON MY RETURN HOME ON THE 23RD, I WENT TO CRANK UP THE TRUCK AND NOTHING. THE VEHICLE IS NOW DISABLED AND SITS IN MY DRIVEWAY. *TR
