Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: On the ignition problem, the car died on the state highway & i had to get towed to my mechanic. my car was laid up for 16 days. he finally found out it was the ignition that was malfunctioning after doing a troubleshooting start & stalling condition. it cost me 118.07 fo the repairs and another$30.00 for the tow. this has been a problem even before you did the recall. and i wish i could get compensated for the expensense,but you said only to 100,000 miles. i dont think that is fair! on the drive train, i was driving along and thn lost power to the train, and i could not steer the car. had to coast off to the side of the road. this happened on easter sunday,and the state police stopped and told me i had to move the car off the road and i could not leave it there. i again had to get towed! the drive axle cost me $100.00. it just fell off the car and the mechanic could not understand why because the pins were still intact. it should never had come apart like it did they said. it did not break! it just came apart.*ak
