Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ALONG,AND SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING,THE ENGINE DIED...NATURALLY THE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES DIDN'T WORK, BUT I MANAGED TO GET THE CAR OVER TO THE CURB. I TRIED TO START IT AND IT STARTED JUST FINE, SO I TOOK IT HOME, I WAS NERVOUS AFTER THAT DRIVING IT ! BECAUSE AFTER THAT IT CONTINUED TO STALL SEVERAL MORE TIMES WHEN I WAS DRIVING IT, I NEVER KNEW WHEN IT WOULD HAPPEN. SO I COULDN'T GO OUT OF TOWN IN IT THAT'S FOR SURE ! I SPENT QUITE A BIT OF MONEY FOR MECHANICS TO WORK ON IT, BUT SINCE IT DIDN'T SHOW A CODE OF ANY KIND, NO ONE COULD FIX IT FOR ME. I LOVED THE CAR, BUT I TRADED IT OFF BECAUSE NO BODY COULD FIX IT. I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE THAT IT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH. JUST THOUGHT I WOULD LET YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS...THANKS *TR
