I WAS DRIVING WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY STALLED OUT. A FEW MONTHS LATER THERE WAS A RECALL NOTICE FOR A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH. A COUPLE OF MONTHS AFTER THAT, THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I TOOK IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP, AND THEY STILL CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I'M REQUESTING A LOANER VEHICLE UNTIL THE RECALL PROBLEM IS FIXED, BEFORE AN ACCIDENT HAPPENS. *TR
