Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have been having this problem for the past 7 months. i have changed out the battery, that didn't solve the problem. i have taken it countless time to the dealership, and they couldn't find out the problem. i have called the plant where the car came from and they referred me to a car service that specializes in oldsmobiles. they thought it was the fuel pump, and they fixed it. they also said that it could be something electrical, however they won't know until the car tears all the way up. this is what is wrong with my car. it sounds like it wants to start, however, it takes three tries before the car finally starts. sometimes, it sounds like the car will not even start. i have also had occassions where the car has cut off as i am pulling off from a stop sign or pulling out of a parking spot. the car is only 2 years old and only have 49,900 miles on it. it no one knows what is wrong with the car or the severity of it, how do i know whether the car will breakdown to a point where it will cause a fatal accident. i believe the car needs to be recalled.*ak
