Consumer Description

JANUARY 11, 2015 2003 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO - VIN: [XXX], MILEAGE: APPROX 120,000 SINCE OCTOBER 2014, THE CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. I LOOSE THE POWER STEERING AND IT'S VERY SCARY IF YOU ARE ON THE FREEWAY. IT'S HARD TO BRING TO A STOP AND SOMETIMES WHEN I SHIFT TO PARK IT MAKES A HORRIBLE GRINDING NOISE. IT ALWAYS RESTARTS AFTER I SIT AWHILE AND DRIVES LIKE NOTHING HAS HAPPENED. . IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES AND NOW IT'S HAPPENING MORE OFTEN. IT COULD CAUSE A BAD ACCIDENT. IT'S TO THE POINT I AM VERY SCARED TO DRIVE IT, BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. LAST WEE IT HAPPENED THREE TIMES. I TOOK IT IN FOR THE RECALL WHERE THEY MODIFY THE KEY. IT DID NOT HELP. MY EXCELLENT MECHANIC SAID HE HAS NEVER HAD A SITUATION LIKE THIS WHERE HE CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG. (INCIDENT INFORMATION WILL NOT LET ME ENTER DATES). INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
