Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE HAS A HISTORY OF STALLING WHILE DRIVING, AND MORE FREQUENTLY OF NOT STARTING ON OCCASION REGARDLESS AS TO WHETHER IT SAT OVERNIGHT OR ONLY A FEW MINUTES. THREE VISITS TO EITHER JAY CHEVROLET OR AL SERRA DODGE, HAS RESULTED IN ONLY THE TIMING CHAIN BEING FIXED. HOWEVER THIS SOLVED ONLY THE ORIGINAL STALL, BUT HAS NOT SOLVED THE PROBLEM COMPLETELY, AND NO OTHER SOLUTION HAS BEEN OFFERED. ON SECOND TRIP TO DEALER, THE CAR WOULD NOT START WHILE ON THE TOW TRUCK, BUT DID START LATER WHEN SERVICE TRIED IT. THEY JUST KEPT SENDING THE CAR BACK WITH NO SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN DRIVING THIS CAR, AND DO NOT APPRECIATE THEM BEING STRANDED. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUTION FOR MY CHILDREN TO BE IN AND NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE. *AK
