Consumer Description
I have been stuck on the road twice due to the engine stalling and the car just does not accelerate. This last time I was stuck in between 2 lanes and could not get the car to start. I was in danger with my daughters. I was able to get the car towed to the dealer and they are saying it is not the recall but everything that happened was what the recall is for. I now have to pay the dealer for a diagnostic that clearly is what the recall is. They are giving me the run around every time I bring up the recall and this is clearly a safety issue.
