Consumer Description

I HAVE CALLED GM ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS REGARDING MY ENGINE FAILING WHILE DRIVING. STALLING IN THE MIDDLE OF BUSY INTERSECTIONS. THEY OPENED AT LEAST 7 CASES INVOLVING THIS SAME SITUATION AND KNOWING MY FEAR OF GETTING KILLED WHEN THIS VEHICLE JUST SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING OR JUST TURNING A CORNER OR WAITING AT A STOP LIGHT!! MY HEATER DID NOT WORK, MY RADIO WILL FREEZE UP AND IS NON FUNCTIONING SOMETIMES..I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE WITH MY GRANDCHILDREN. AS I WRITE THIS MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AFTER A $1,000 REPAIR OF THE TIMING CHAIN. THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AT 1:30 IN THE MORNING ON A COUNTRY ROAD AND A SHERIFF DEPUTY HAPPENED TO BE PATROLLING SND HELPED ME BY CALLING A TOWING SERVICE BECAUSE MY SUV WOULD NOT START.. THE DEPUTY EVEN GOT MY MANUAL OUT TO SEE IF HE COULD FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM.. WHEN I CALLED GM I WAS TREATED SOOO DISRESPECTFULLY BY A GIRL THAT WAS ASSIGNED TO MY CASES.. I DO HAVE RECEIPTS AND THE CASES NUMBERS AND DATES WROTE DOWN WHEN I TALKED TO GM.. I NEED A SAFE VEHICLE AND I OWE $19,000 STILL AND NOW IT'S ONLY WORTH $6,000... I'M A WIDOW AND ONLY MAKING ENDS MEET.. THIS HAS BEEN A SCARY STRUGGLE... PLEASE HELP!! THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS.🙏🏼
