| The first time i put the car in the shop is because i was driving at about 45 mph and the car shut off on me while entering the freeway. the second time was because the car wouldnt start until after 15 min or so. i have paid $650 for my ignition switch to be changed $280 for the key lock cylinder with key changed, and $1150 for new head gasket after car over heated cause the plastic manifold gasket metled and cracked causing the car to overheat. i have done all of this within a year and the crazy thing is the car isnt starting again. i really think you all should consider a recall on this car because im wasting money on a car i never get to drive even after i pay for the costly repairs. | |||
