Consumer Description

WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR AT BREDEMANN'S CHEVEROLET LAST TUESDAY, THEY FORGOT TO FILL UP THE TANK SO I TOOK THE CAR BACK TODAY TO GET FILLED UP. AFTER THEY FILLED UP THE TANK I WENT ON MY WAY AND BEFORE I CAN GET ON THE ROAD THE ENGINE DIED. I RESTARTED IT AND IT STAYED ON A BIT THEN DIED AGAIN. AFTER A FEW TIMES OF THIS THE CAR EVENTUALLY STARTED AND SEEMED OKAY SO I GOT ON THE ROAD, AFTER DRIVING A FEW FEET THE ENGINE DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. SO I RESTARTED IT AGAIN AND TURNED AROUND AND WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE SALESMAN TOOK A LOOK AT IT AND WE DROVE THE CAR AROUND THE LOT A FEW TIMES AND IT SEEMED OKAY SO I THOUGHT WOW, THAT WAS WEIRD...I THANK THE SALESMAN AND WENT ON MY WAY I GOT A FEW BLOCKS AND THE CAR DIED AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. IT'S A PRETTY SCARY FEELING BECAUSE IT WOULD DIE ALL OF US SUDDEN WHILE DRIVING. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR. I'VE BEEN READING REPORTS AND FORUMS ALL DAY TODAY AND IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS TYPE OF CAR. WOULD THIS BE PART OF A RECALL OR WOULD I BE RESPONSIBLE TO FIX THIS. I CAN'T AFFORD BIG REPAIRS RIGHT NOW, CONSIDERING I'VE JUST PUT DOWN CASH TO BUY THIS CAR.
