| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I filed this same complaint last year at the same time. the car operated fine for exactly one whole year after dealership replaced the fuel regulator. the failure is that the vehicle stalls while driving. when this occurs there is a total loss of power and control of the car. i am unable to steer, stop, everything locks up. the consequences of driving a car like this is me losing my life. on 11/29/04 is when the problem recurred. then on 11/30 as i was driving to work it stalled with a public transportation bus on my tail, the car loss power. the bus driver was honking his horn and flashing his lights but showed little signs of slowing down for a car that was stalled out. i feel these vehicles with this problem should be totally recalled until the manufacturer can determine what is causing the problem. i am willing to allow them to troubleshoot my car to every extent. it has been at the dealership for almost 2 weeks and all they can say is to continue driving the car until it gets worse. that is definitely not an option as i did last year and they still were not able to fix the car. these cars are going to cause someone to lose their life if they haven't already and something needs to be done about it a.s.a.p. i refuse to pick up my car from the dealer until they have a fix, i also refuse to make another payment on the car until it is in working condition. i feel that either this car will explode on me the next time i attempt to crank it or i am going to be killed when it stalls while i am driving. my life is way more valuable than this car will ever be worth to anyone. i didn't get much assistance from you last year when i filed this complaint so i am hoping you have a new insight on the seriousness this car poses. *jb |
