Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I purchased this 1986 chevrolet spectrum from an inlaw who couldn't get it to run. he purchased the car from someone else who couldn't get it to run. i personally have spent countless hours, and money tring to get the car to stay running. with no positive result. i have replaced the fuel filter, fuel pump, spak plugs, wires, rotor, cap, 2 different carberators, then a carborator kit, did a compression check,( fine) no water in the oil , timing belt fine, timing excellent, hoses in place and good. have taken to mechanics and no positive end result. the car stalls everywhere anywhere, i have been stranded countless times. embarrasing and a total hazard to the road. the car has caused countless traffic jams and i personally have had to run stop signs to keep the car going. its scary and frustranig. i sure wouldn't take my neice with me for a drive. and i sure miss my neice. i really feel that its a crime for the manufactures not to fix the defective part. if they know it is defective then fix the problem so they have a good name behind thier products. which means quality instead of crap. sam ramp
