THE CAR WILL NOT START AFTER WARMED UP . AND WHEN SITTING AFTER STARTED IT ACTS LIKE IT WANTS TO DIE . *TR

KEY WILL NOT TURN TO TURN THE CAR ON. AFTER MANY MULTIPLE TIMES TURNING THE KEY IT MAY ENGAGE AND START MY CAR. THE PROBLEM WITH TRYING TO START THE CAR IS CONTINUING TO GET WORSE. IT NOW TAKES SEVERAL MINUTES OF TRYING TO GET IT TO START. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL BUT HAS NOT BEEN SENT OUT YET. THE DEALER CAN'T FIX IT BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED AND HAVE NO PARTS. I AM STRANDED. COST TO FIX IT ON MY OWN, EVEN THOUGH THE PART HAS HAD MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS AND IS APPARENTLY DEFECTIVE WILL BE OVER $300. THAT'S RIDICULOUS. GET THE RECALL SENT OUT SO WE CAN CONTINUE TO DRIVE SAFELY OR IN MY CASE DRIVE. *TR
