Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND I GOT A WARNING ON MY DASHBOARD THAT SAID THE CONVERTIBLE TOP WAS IN OPERATION. I WAS ON THE FREEWAY DRIVING 60 MPH (APPROXIMATELY). ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE TOP STARTED TO OPEN (IT IS A HARD-TOP CONVERTIBLE) - IT FROZE IN MIDAIR BECAUSE THE TRUNK COMPARTMENT WAS NOT PREPARED FOR THE TOP TO GO INTO IT AND THE TRUNK LID WOULD NOT OPEN BECAUSE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. WHEN THE TOP FROZE IN THE "UP IN THE AIR" POSITION, IT DID SOMETHING TO THE MOTORS. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP - THEY WERE ABLE TO GET THE TOP BACK DOWN (MANUALLY) AND THEN THEY SET IT SO IT WAS PERMANENTLY CLOSED UNTIL REPAIRS COULD BE MADE. UNFORTUNATELY, I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO GET IT REPAIRED - ABOUT 600 DOLLARS AND I WOULD NOT ANYWAY, BECAUSE IT MALFUNCTIONED - IT WAS NOT USER ERROR. THE EQUIPMENT COMPLETELY FAILED. IS THIS ON ANY TYPE OF A RECALL THAT WOULD ALLOW MY CAR TO BE FIXED AND COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER?
