Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING MY CHILDREN TO SCHOOL, MY CAR BEGAN SHUTTING DOWN ON A MAJOR ROAD PUTTING MYCHILDREN AND MYSELF IN DANGER. THE THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND WAITING A COUPLE OF MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE EXTREMELY SLOW TO GE THEM TO SCHOOL SAFELY. THIS SOUNDS SIMILAR TO THE SAME PROBLEMS CURRENTLY HAPPENING WITH THE CHEVY COBALTS. IS IT GOING TO TAKE CHRYSLER/DODGE KILLING PEOPLE BEFORE THIS GETS RECALLED? I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO CONTACT THEIR LOCAL NEWS STATIONS ALONG WITH NATIONAL NEWS STATIONS! CAR COMPANIES ARE ONLY INTERESTED IN MAKING THEIR MONEY AND NOT LOOKING AT THE SAFETY ISSUES OF THE DEATH TRAPS THEY ARE SELLING TO CONSUMERS. I WILL BE ENDLESSLY PURSUING THIS MATTER UNTIL DODGE STEPS UP AND PAY FOR THE REPAIR! I WILL CALL EVERY NEWS STATION UNTIL SOME ATTENTION IS BROUGHT TO THIS MATTER AND HOLDING CAR COMPANIES LIKE DODGE/CHRYSLER RESPONSIBLE FOR SELLING AND MANUFACTURING FAULTY VEHICLES. I HAVE GONE THROUGH ALL COMPLAINTS LISTED ON THIS SITE AND NUMEROUS OTHERS. SOMEONE IS NOT DOING THEIR JOB! *TR
