ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE VEHICLE WOULD INTERMITTENTLY STALL. JUST BEFORE THE VEHICLE STALLED, THE CHECK ENGINE AND BATTERY LIGHT HAD COME ON. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK THE STALLING WOULD ALSO OCCUR WHEN MAKING LEFT TURNS. *SC

I WENT TO THE GAS STATION AND THEN WENT TO MY PARENTS HOUSE WHERE I PARKED MY CAR. THIS WAS ALL OF ABOUT 6 MILES. I WENT INTO MY PARENTS HOUSE AND WAS WATCHING TV WHEN MY DAD CAME IN AND SAID COME HERE QUICK... YOUR CAR'S ON FIRE. I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT. IT WAS WORKING FINE WHEN I WENT TO THE STORE AND THEN IT CAUGHT ON FIRE OUT OF THE BLUE. THERE WAS A RECALL IN APRIL 2009 ON MY CAR DUE TO ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRES. I TOOK IT TO JOHN L. SULLIVAN IN JANUARY 2010 TO HAVE THE RECALL WORK DONE AT NO CHARGE. YET, MY CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE ANYWAY. I FILED A COMPLAIN WITH GM MOTORS WHO DENIED MY CLAIM STATING THE BREACH OF WARRANTY STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS HAD EXPIRED PER CALIFORNIA STATE LAW. HOWEVER, FEDERAL LAW STATES I AM ENTITLED TO A FREE AND "EFFECTIVE" REMEDY FOR THIS SITUATION. OBVIOUSLY, THE REMEDY WAS NOT EFFECTIVE. I WANT GM TO FIX MY CAR IMMEDIATELY!!!!!! FEDERAL LAW SHOULD OVERRIDE ANY STATE LAW. I AM VERY LUCKY I WAS NOT IN THE CAR WHEN THE FLAMES ERUPTED. I AM ALSO VERY LUCKY IT WAS NOT PARKED IN MY GARAGE OR SOMETHING WHERE MY HOUSE COULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE. THERE WERE ABSOLUTELY NO INDICATIONS THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG WITH MY CAR. *TR
