Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, (THE ROAD HAS A SLOPE) MY CAR HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND SHUT COMPLETELY OFF. I KEPT PRESSING THE BRAKE BUT IT DIDN'T STOP THE CAR FROM ROLLING DOWN HILL BECAUSE THERE WAS NO POWER TO THE CAR. MY CAR ROLLED INTO THE BACK OF ANOTHER CAR. THIS VEHICLE IS PART OF A RECALL AND I HAVE MADE SEVERAL TRIPS TO A DEALER TO GET IT REPAIRED BUT I AM TOLD EACH TIME THAT THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR. THIS TIME IT WAS AN ACCIDENT THE NEXT TIME IT SHUTS OFF IT MAY BE A FATALITY.
