| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While driving on a 4 lane highway, i stopped a to make a left hand turn across this busy highway, upon my turn the car lost power and stalled in the middle of the on coming lanes of traffic. restarted the vehicle and continued to stall moving only a few feet at a time and would not restart, being that i am disabled this caused a danger to myself and others on this busy highway (aka) highway of death in this area. in california hwy 99/70 north bound north of sacramento ca. after a time some motorist assisted me and pushed my vehicle out of lanes of traffic to the edge of the highway. i had no warning or indication that the vehicle was about to fail or that any system needed attention. because of my disabilities, i would never drive a vehicle that was not reliable or would caused a situation to arise that would be a danger to myself and the motoring public. a mechanic at a chevrolet dealer that i have known for years advised me the beware of fuel pumps in these vehicles as they have a very high rate of failure. i also asked the mechanic if knew what i could do to avoid this situation and he stated that no official manufacture advisory were avail. in his opinion the fuel pumps of poor quality and suffered from over heating being they a cooled by the gasoline in the tank. and suggested to keep the tank full. i never let the fuel get below 1/4 tank level and usually refill at 1/2. this is a 2003 model with 39,593 miles the vehicle was towed to my home. not repaired. i am not sure if i should have it repaired. i have no faith in the dealership or the manufacture and the only other choice is to just sell it to another person advising them before hand or selling to a wholesale dealer. i am driving my other vehicle. *tr |
