Consumer Description

WHEN IT RAINS, AT TAKE OFF THE CAR STALLS AND WILL NOT RUN UNTIL IT DRIES OUT. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A YEAR OR MORE. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND SEVERAL TIMES AS DRIVERS BEHIND ME THINK I AM GOING AND THE CALL STALLS. ONE TIME MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AT 70 AND THE CAR SHUT DOWN. MOST TIME IT SEEMS TO BE WHEN COMING TO A STOP THEN TAKING OFF IT STALLS. THE CAR WILL START THEN AS SOON AS YOU HIT THE GAS OR PUT IT IN GEAR IT SHUTS DOWN. MY DAUGHTER HAS A 2003 ALERO THAT DOES THE SAME THING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND WE HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE POSTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE. MY HUSBAND TOOK IT TO THE CAR WASH AND IT STARTING ACTING UP SO HE DECIDED TO TRY TO GET IT TO AN AUTOMOTIVE, IT BARELY MADE IT THERE. THE REPAIR FACILITY HAD IT FOR 10 DAYS AND COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS CAUSING IT. I GUESS IF I GET KILLED THEN MAYBE THERE WILL BE AN INVESTIGATION AND SOMETHING WILL BE DONE. I GUESS HERE IS MY PROOF I FILED A COMPLAINT IN CASE I DIE. *TR
