| Description of the problem | I was driving on the freeway at 8:30 pm when my vehicle began to lose power and stalling, it finally shut down completely in the fast lane. I frantically tried restart finally it did i was then only able to get the vehicle in the small space between the on ramp and the slow lane of freeway. The traffic was heavy and i almost get hit by a vehicle while attempting to get to a safe place. Where the incident occurred the are concrete barriers due to the expansion work being done on highway 4 west bound. Pittsburgh california. I bought the vehicle brand new on feb 23, 2006, it has had numerous mechanical defects from day one. In the last 2 years i have spent over $ for repairs and last month i brought to the dealer for these problems and they advised me that the vehicle had more repairs that it needed costing $2500. 00. I am at my wits end. I am not working on disability. On the following day the car did it again. |
