Consumer Description

THERE ARE A LOT OF RECALLS ON MY PONIAC GRAND PRIX SE. THEY HAVE AFFECTED THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY CHILD. THE STEERING FLUID LEAKS FROM THE CAR AFTER SOMETHING WAS REPLACED ON A RECALL A WHILE BACK. RECENTLY WHILE I WAS IN TRAFFIC MY CAR STOPPED GOING AND OVERHEATED A LOT. THIS CAR ALWAYS RUNS HOT. IT MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE MOST RECENT RECALL. BUT THIS CAR WILL NO LONGER EVEN START UP. HOW DO I FIND OUT IF THE RECALLS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MY CAR BREAKING DOWN ON ME? ALSO IN THE LETTER I RECEIVED IN THE MAIL SAID TO PARK MY CAR AND NOT DRIVE IT. YET THE DIDN'T HAVE THE PARTS IN TO REPLACE AND FIX THE ISSUE. IS THERE A WAY TO BE COMPENSATED FOR THIS. I NEED A RELIABLE CAR AND REALLY WISH I HADN'T PURCHASED ONE WITH SO MANY ISSUES.
