| Description of the problem | While driving on a highway at 65mph, the vehicle suddenly lost all power. I managed to steer car off to side of road, narrowly avoiding accident. The car did restart, but this stalling and power shut off reoccurred once more. Dealership examined car; test drove it; and said nothing was wrong. I indicated that there was a real problem and safety concern. After my prodding, they admintted that there was, in fact, a voluntary recall, but the needed parts were unavailable. It is one thing to postpone treating a car for a voluntary recall when that car has not experienced the problem. My car, however, has had this problem and i feel the manufacturer should find the needed part to repair the car to ensure its safety. I asked to have the service manager call me back but i have not yet received that call. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6) *tt |
