Consumer Description

06/30/2014: CAR WAS CRANING SLOW. OUTCOME: BATTERY REPLACED. BRAKE BOOSTER RECALL AND REPLACED. 08/18/2014: CAR WAS TOWED IN. OUTCOME: FUEL PUMP OVERLAY WAS REPLACED. 09/15/2014: CAR WAS TOWED IN NOT STARTING. OUTCOME: BATTERY REPLACED AND NEW ALTERNATOR REPLACED. LAST INCIDENT HAPPENED ON 09/12/2014 I WAS DRIVING HOME, THE CAR PANEL STARTED FLASHING, VEHICLE SHUT OFF, AND I LOST POWER STEERING. NO CONTROL OF MY CAR. THANKFUL I WASN'T IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAD MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. PRECIOUS CARGO. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND CONCERN. IF I WAS ON THE FREEWAY I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. MY CAR ONLY HAS 37K MILES ON IT. AN ALTERNATOR SHOULD NOT BE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE. I CAN UNDERSTAND 100K. PLUS 2 BATTERY REPLACES NEEDED WITHIN 2 MONTHS. THIS CAR IS NOT RELIABLE NOR SAFE. *TR
