Consumer Description

THERE HAVE BEEN MANY OCCASIONS OF MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUTTING DOWN WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE HAD IT TO MECHANICS MANY TIMES NO ONE CAN SEEM TO FIGURE THIS ISSUE OUT. I AM CURRENTLY HAVING THE RECALL FIXED FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH. I HAVE READ PLENTY OF COMPLAINTS 1 TO MANY I SHALL SAY. AND BELIEVE ME I DON'T WANT TO PUT MYSELF, MY CHILD OR ANYONE ELSE IN DANGER BUT THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE AND I CAN NOT AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER ONE. I WOULD JUST HOPE SOME ONE CAN FIGURE THIS PROBLEM OUT. I DON'T EVEN CARE IF ITS A RECALL ALTHOUGH IT SHOULD BE FOR THE MANY COMPLAINT. I JUST WANNA KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND HOW TO FIX IT.
