Consumer Description

VEHICLE STALLS WITHOUT WARNING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. LOSING ALL POWER AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP. DEALER NOTIFIED 4 TIMES. FIRST 3 TIMES THEY DID NOTHING, FOURTH TIME THEY SAID THEY REPLACED AIR INTAKE VALVE. THE MORNING AFTER WE GOT THE CAR OUT OF THE SHOP IT STALLED AGAIN WHILE DRIVING 55MPH. WE ARE TIRED OF GETTING THE RUN AROUND AND ARE HESITANT TO CONTACT DEALER AGAIN CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM. 2ND PROBLEM- PUT KEY INTO IGNITION AND KEY WOULDN'T TURN. CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALER WHERE THEY KEPT IT FOR A WEEK. I WAS TOLD IT HAD TO DO WITH THE IGNITION CYLINDER AND KEY HAD TO BE CODED. THESE ARE ONLY 2 OF THE MANY PROBLEMS WE HAVE HAD WITH OUR VEHICLE, BUT IT IS RIDICULOUS FOR A NEW CAR TO HAVE SO MANY MALFUNCTIONS AND PROBLEMS.*AK
