Consumer Description

THE INVALID VIN IS THE CORRECT ONE ON THE CAR. WE HAVE CHECKED IT SEVERAL TIMES. THE STALLING STARTED THE FIRST TIME WHEN THE CAR HAD LESS THAN 12000 MILES ON IT , AS DID THE BRAKES. I DO NOT HAVE THE EXACT DATES OF THE OTHER STALLINGS. THE LAST TIME FOR EXAMPLE, WAS IN APRIL 2001, MY SISTER WAS GOING THE SPEED LIMIT, WITH HER GRANDDAUGHTER IN THE BACK, AND THE CAR STALLED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. NO WAY TO GET OUT OF THE ROAD. SHE NARROWLY MISSED GETTING HIT BY A TRANSFER TRUCK. ALSO, THE BRAKES HAVE NEVER WORKED RIGHT. SHE HAS HAD THEM WORKED ON SEVERAL TIMES. THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND IS NOT CHEAP.*AK
