Consumer Description

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT REGULAR SPEED 55MPH WHEN THE CAR QUIT WITH OUT ANY LIGHTS COMING ON OR ANY WEIRD NOISE AFTER WE GOT OFF THE ROAD WE TRIED STARTING IT AGAIN BUT NOTHING HAPPENED SO WE HAD IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST GARAGE WHERE WE WAS TOLD THE MOTOR WAS LOCKED UP. IT HAS AROUND 124,000.SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS IS A OCCURRING PROBLEM WITH THIS MOTOR AND DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THEY PICK AND CHOOSE WHICH ONES ARE RECALLED. SO WHAT'S A PERSON SUPPOSED TO DO WHEN IT'S YOUR ONLY TRANSPORTATION AND YOUR ON A FIXED INCOME.
