Consumer Description

MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES AND IT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED AS OF YET. THE LAST TIME IT WAS IN THEY REPLACED A PART, IT STILLED DIED ON THEM BUT THEY SAID IT WAS DYING BECAUSE OF THE PART AND IT WOULD BEING TO WORK AFTER THE CAR ADJUSTED TO THE NEW PART. THAT I FEEL IS VERY INAPPROPRIATE AND THE PROBLEM SHOULD OF BEEN FIXED, THERE RESPONSE DOES NOT MAKE ME FEEL SAFE WITH MY 18 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER IN THE CAR. ESPICALLY SINCE THE OTHER DAY THE CAR DIED AS I WAS TURNING A CORNER AND WE ALSO MOST WENT IN A POND. NOW THE COMPNAY WILL NOT EVAN CALL ME BACK.
