Consumer Description

WHEN I'VE BEEN DRIVING MY CAR IT COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF, I LOSE POWER STEERING, ACCELERATION, BRAKING & NEED TO ALLOW THE CAR TO COME TO A STOP & THEN STUT IF OFF & TURN IT BACK ON. I HAVE TAKEN MY PASTA IN AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. I FOUND THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR MY VIN BUT NO AVAILABLE PARTS FOR A FUEL PUMP REPLACEMENT THAT WOULD CAUSE THE CAR TO SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. WHAT CAN I DO TO GET THIS REPLACED I'M SCARED TO KEEP DRIVING IT BECAUSE AT SOME POINT I WILL NOT BE SO LUCKY TO NOT HIT SOMEONE.
