Description of the problem	06/30/2014: car was craning slow. Outcome: battery replaced. Brake booster recall and replaced. 08/18/2014: car was towed in. Outcome: fuel pump overlay was replaced. 09/15/2014: car was towed in not starting. Outcome: battery replaced and new alternator replaced. Last incident happened on 09/12/2014 i was driving home, the car panel started flashing, vehicle shut off, and i lost power steering. No control of my car. Thankful i wasn't in an accident. I had my children in the car. Precious cargo. This is a huge safety issue and concern. If i was on the freeway i can only imagine what would have happened. My car only has 37k miles on it. An alternator should not be needed to be replaced at such low mileage. I can understand 100k. Plus 2 battery replaces needed within 2 months. This car is not reliable nor safe.
