Consumer Description

VECHILE REPEATEDLY FAILS TO START. IT HAS THE SENSATION THAT IT'S NOT GETTING ANY FUEL. ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE HAS DIED WHILE DRIVING AROUND 25/35MPH, AGAIN FEELING AS IF IT HAD RAN OUT OF GAS. ON BOTH OCCASIONS I HAD OVER HALF A TANK OF GAS. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES, ONCE IT WAS TOWED, AND THEY KEPT IT FOR TWO OR THREE DAYS SAYING THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. *AK
