Consumer Description

10/4/2015 I WAS DROPPING MY DAUGHTER OFF WHEN MY CAR STALLED CARS HAD TO SWERVE OUT OF THE WAY TO PREVENT FROM HITTING US. THE CAR WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET I HAD TO PUSH IT OVER SO THAT WE COULD BE SAFE. I HAD TO GET THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. ITS BEEN TWO DAYS AND STILL THEY HAVE NOT LOOKED AT MY CAR AND HAVE NOT GIVEN ME A RENTAL CAR. I LOOKED ON LINE AND I SEE THAT THERE IS 5 RECALLS FOR MY CAR AND ONE IS AN ENGINE ISSUE WHICH CAUSES THE CAR TO STALL. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR ANYMORE AND NEED SOMETHING TO BE DONE SINCE THIS IS STOPPING ME FROM GOING TO WORK AND PICKING UP MY DAUGHTER. I DO NOT WANT THIS DANGEROUS CAR ANYMORE DUE TO ENGINE RECALL
