WAS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS GOING UP A INCLINE (HILL) WHEN MY CAR CHIMED AND A MESSAGE READ (ENGINE POWER REDUCED) WAS IN THE OUTSIDE PASSING LANE WITH A SEMI BEHIND ME PASSING A SLOWER MOVING CAR. CAR POWER REDUCED TO 30MPH AND LUNGED LIKE NOT GETTING ENOUGH FUEL. I BARELY MISSED A NARROW ESCAPE OF GETTING REAR ENDED. GOT OVER IN THE SLOW LANE THE HIGHWAY BECOME NARROW WITH NO SHOULDER TO PULL OVER SO I WAS GOING TO DRIVE TILL I COULD PULL OVER BUT THEM ANOTHER CHIME AND MY DASH READ (ENGINE DISABLED) AND MOTOR SHUT OFF. COAST TO SOMEONE'S DRIVEWAY AND SET THERE SHAKING FROM BEING SCARED FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES. DECIDED TO TRY IGNITION AND THE CAR RESTARTED AND WAS ABLE TO LIMP TO A PULL OFF AND CALL FOR A TOW HOME. I REALIZE MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND HAS 119K MILES ON IT BUT NOBODY SHOULD BE FACED WITH A SITUATION LIKE I WAS PUT IN. ALSO I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER MONTHS AGO ABOUT MY IGNITION RECALL AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD ORDER THE PARTS THEN CALL ME TO BRING MY CAR IN AND LIKE I SAID THAT WAS ALMOST 3 MONTHS AGO AND I HAVE HEARD NOTHING NO PHONE CALL.

NO WARNING CHIMES AND NO TURN SINGLE CHIME. SEVERAL WEEKS AGO I LOST ALL WARNING CHIMES ON MY CAR. SO AT THIS TIME I HAVE NO CHIMES FOR 1. SEAT BELTS NOT BUCKLED. DOOR AJAR. 3. LOW OR FLAT TIRE. 4. NO TURN SINGLE CHIME. IN FACT NON OF THE CHIMES ARE NOW WORKING.

GOOD AFTERNOON, I HAVE A FEW CONCERNS ABOUT MY VEHICLE AND HAVE CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND THE ATTORNEY GENERAL BUT THEY HAVE NOW DIRECTED MY QUESTIONS/CONCERNS TO YOU. MY VEHICLE IS NOW ON ITS SIXTH RECALL. EVERY TIME I HAVE TO BRING MY CAR IN FOR WORK, I HAVE TO TAKE TIME OFF OF WORK AND THE CAR DEALERSHIPS IM REQUIRED TO BRING MY CAR INTO DO NOT HAVE LOANER VEHICLES. HOWEVER, MY PRIMARY CONCERN IS THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE AND I AM A SINGLE MOM. THESE RECALLS ARE DISCONCERTING AND WITHIN THE LETTERS HAVE OPENLY STATED THAT THESE DEFECTS, FLAWS OR PROBLEMS HAVE CAUSED DEATHS. MY SON IS MY EVERYTHING AND IT IS MY JOB TO PROTECT HIM. WHEN I CONTACTED THE COMPANY TO ASK HOW MANY RECALLS DOES IT TAKE TO MAKE A VEHICLE INEFFECTIVE IN REGARDS TO, DO THEY STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS? I WAS THEN DIRECTED TO YOU. THE INDIVIDUAL I SPOKE TO SAID THEY DO NOT WORK IN LEMON LAWS BUT WHAT ABOUT SAFETY LAWS? WHAT ABOUT STANDING BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT? WHAT ABOUT PROTECTING THOSE INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE BOUGHT THEIR PRODUCTS AND HAVE NOW HAD MULTIPLE RECALLS THAT HAVE THE ABILITY TO MAKE THE VEHICLE INOPERABLE AND POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING. IF I HAD THE FUNDS I WOULD BUY A DIFFERENT VEHICLE. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS SAFE AND GOOD ON GAS MILEAGE. I DO NOT HAVE ANY EXTRA FUNDS TO BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE. MY CONCERN IS FOR THE SAFETY OF MY SON AND MYSELF AND I AM APPALLED THAT A COMPANY DOES NOT SEEM TO STAND BEHIND ITS PRODUCT AFTER THIS MANY RECALLS. PLEASE HELP,
