| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have e-mailed chvrolet on sevrel occasions and have received unsatisfactory answers. i am reporting the incident now because i am just now becoming aware of this part of your website. my sister, my mother and myself were headed to newark airport to drop my mother off as she was going to atlanta to catch a boat for a cruise. within the vicinity of the airport as we were getting closer to her airline (continental) gate in a hurry as we were running late. i was driving (charles) my mother's car with her in the passengers side. i was doing about 55-60mph when all of a sudden i began skidding. please keep in mind the roads were dry and her 1994 geo prizm equipped with anti-lock brakes came to a screeching halt. i wouldn't have minded so much if i was actually pressing the brakes, however i didn't touch a thing. i would also take all the blame if the warning light had come on at all, but no warning either. we spent hours just trying to get the thing into long-term parking. chevy is telling me to bring the car in and be charged $80.00/hour but my mother and i just are not happy with this answer. i want to be told from a, hopefully, nuetral party as to what we should do. the car has remained parked since the incident. my mother informs me that even if the car was repaired she would still be to affraid to drive this vehicle. as i would not want her to drive this death trap either. in any way shape or form that you look at it, this has defect written all over it. i can understand if the car somehow broke down and gradually came to a stop. however a screeching hault is just not acceptable-for any car! i was informed that the "vacuum on the vehicle may have went." this is still a sever defect if you ask me and one i should not be paying for! it is hectic as anything sharing a car around here but we'll do anything until we get acceptable answers and solutions! please help us! thankyou - my mother and iare anxious to hear from you! charles c. doyle. *ak |
