| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a brand new 2004 corvette 1 1/2 months old with only 1341 miles on it. while driving home in rush hour dallas traffic on a very busy fast moving road, my engine died in the middle of the road. i could not restart the car & was in a very serious situation risking the possibility of being rear ended. luckily a policeman came by and parked behind me to shield me from the traffic. if i had been on the freeway, i could have been killed. the gm dealer where i purchased the car (ray huffines chevrolet of plano) is acting like it is no big deal. they said it is the fuel pump & they will replace it when they can get a fuel pump and if it happens again, to bring it back. if it happens again & i would be on the freeway, i more than likely would not be alive to take the car back in. i drive 50+ miles a day to & from work mostly freeway driving. i feel the dealership is trying to put my life in jeopardy. i want my money back and out of this car. in researching, i have found that 127,000 2004 corvettes have been recalled for steering problems. i was never advised of this when i purchased this car or of any fuel pump issues. i have purchased a brand new car every 3 years for the last 20 years & i have never had a problem like this, especially with a brand new $50,000 car and i have owned 280zx, 300zx, rx7, supra, and lexus. i need help from gm or someone to resolve this. *jb |
