Consumer Description
ENGINE SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING. TWICE WHILE STOPPED AND 4 TIMES WHILE CITY DRIVING IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING A TURN. CAR SHUTS DOWN WITH KEY IN THE ON POSITION. I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURN THE KEY INTO THE OFF POSITION. I CAN THEN TURN THE KEY AND THE CAR TURNS BACK ON. I WAS ALMOST REAR- ENDED. THIS IS THE SAME THING THAT HAPPENED WHEN MY CAR WAS PART OF THE SAFETY RECALL 13454. I CALLED GENERAL MOTORS AT 1 800 222 1020. I TOLD THE GUY THAT THE SAME THING WAS HAPPENING THAT HAPPENED WHEN THEY HAD THE RECALL FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH. HE TOLD ME THEY WERE HAVING OTHER CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING HAPPENING. I ASKED HIM HOW COME THEY WEREN'T HAVING A RECALL ON THE RECALL? IT IS VERY SCARY DRIVING THIS CAR. I WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING WOULD BE COVERED AND I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE IT TO THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALER (WHICH IS 30 MILES AWAY)
