THIS CAR HAS DIED FOUR TIMES IN TEN MONTHS, THREE OF THESE IN THE LAST SIX WEEKS. THE DEALER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM IN SPITE OF HAVING THE CAR FOR AT LEAST 14 DAYS. AFTER 1/2 HOUR THE CAR STARTS AGAIN WITH NO PROBLEM. THEY REPLACED A FUEL VALVE BUT THE CAR FAILED AGAIN AFTER THAT. I NEED RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION AND CAN NO LONGER TRUST THE RELIABILITY OF THIS CAR. WHAT CAN I DO???? HELP??????*AK
