Consumer Description

WE HAD DIFFICULTY STARTING THE CAR WITHIN A WEEK OF PURCHASE. THE DEALER COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. IT EVENTUALLY STARTED TO DIE WITH NO WARNING. ANOTHER MECHANIC REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP. ON THE WAY HOME FROM THE MECHANIC IT DIED ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 60 MPH. IT HAS DIED ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 75 MPH AND ALSO IN TOWN GOING 10 MPH. IT HAS DIED NUMEROUS TIMES BUT WOULD USUALLY START AFTER SITTING A FEW MINUTES BUT HAS LEFT US STRANDED ON THE HIGHWAY AND IN PARKING LOTS. FOUR MECHANICS HAVE LOOKED AT THE CAR AND CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. MR
