Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING TO THE GAS STATION TO GET SOME GAS THE CAR DIED. AFTER A TWO MINUTE WAIT, WE RESTARTED THE CAR WITH NO PROBLEM.. THIS DID HAPPEN ONE OTHER TIME TWO WEEKS BEFORE AND IT SHUT OFF APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION. THERE WAS PLENTY OF FUEL IN THE SYSTEM. AGAIN, WAITED A MINUTE AND IT RESTARTED. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FOR MY GRANDDAUGHTER AS A GIFT ON JANUARY 2014 FROM AL SERRA NORTH CHEVROLET USED CAR LOT. THEY OFFERED SAFETY INSPECTION ALONG WITH TEST DRIVE. I JUST TOOK IT BACK TO AL SERRA CHEVROLET FOR A 90 DAY COMPLIMENTARY SAFETY CHECK WITH ALL FLUIDS TOPPED OFF. THEY SAID ALL WAS FINE. I CAN BET THE ELECTRONICS WAS NOT EVEN CHECKED. I AM AFRAID THAT MY GRANDDAUGHTER IS DRIVING A VERY UNSAFE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE COULD STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND WITH CATASTROPHIC EFFECTS. REQUEST IMMEDIATE ACTION. *TR
