| Description of the problem | I was driving down the road and my car just stopped running. I had to pull over to the side of the road which is very difficult because the power steering doesn't work once it dies. I had just left my house, hadn't drove 1/2 mile. I also took my vehicle this morning to have the battery, alternator and starter checked because it has a tendency to not want to start. It will just make the noise like it's turning over and take about 5-6 tries before it will turn over. Please include 2011 models in your ignition recall before someone gets hurt from there vehicle dying while driving down the road. I got lucky i was still in my sub division and not on the main road. |
