"TAKATA RECALL" I PURCHASED A 2013 CHEVROLET IMPALA 02/2015. ONE MONTH LATER MY CAR STOPPED IN ME. I GOT THE CAR TOWED TO SERRA CHEVROLET. THEY SAID I WAS OUT OF GAS WHICH I DIDN'T BELIEVE CAUSE I WAS AT QTR OF TANK. THEY SAID WITH THE KIND OF ENGINE I HAD QTR OF A TANK MEANT EMPTY IN MY CAR. I DIDN'T BELIEVE THIS. IN 02/2016, ON MY WAY TO WORK, MY CAR STOP ON THE INTERSTATE. I GOT THE CAR TOWED TO SERRA CHEVROLET AGAIN. THEY SAID MY FUEL PUMP SENSOR AND SOMETHING ELSE WAS GONE. THEY USED MY EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT I PURCHASED W/ SERRA TOYOTA WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. I LOST MY JOB DUE TO THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. IN 02/2017, THE CAR STOPPED ON ME AGAIN.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND CAUSE MY POWERTRAIN WARRANTY HAVEN'T EXPIRED, I'M ALSO STILL PAYING FOR AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WITH MY CARNOTE BUT I CAN'T UTILIZE, AND I ONLY USED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ONCE. ON 02/13/17 AFTER I GOT MY CAR FROM SERRA MY CAR STOP WHILE I WAS DRIVING AGAIN. I CONTACTED SERRA. THEY PAID FOR TOWING BUT I HAD TO PAY FOR AN EMC, WHICH WAS $329.18.
