Read full complaint

ON 1/19/1999 I WAS STRANDED WHEN THE CAR WOULD NOT START. MY HUSBAND CHECKED THE FUEL INJECTION FUSE AND REPLACED IT. HE GOT IT HOME AND IT REFUSED TO START. HE THEN DISCOVERED A GAS LEAK. WE HAD IT TOWED TO LEE ADAMS TIRE AND SERVICE CENTER. THEY CALLED US AND TOLD US THAT THE FUEL PUMP HAD BEEN ARCING AND WE WERE LUCKY TO BE ALIVE. THEY SAID THAT BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP, THAT THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE PUMP, THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF SWITCH, AND THE FUEL RELAY SWITCH, SO FAR. IT IS NOW 1/24/1999 AND I HAVE HAD TO RENT A CAR AT 60.00 A DAY OUT OF POCKET. I DIDN'T KNOW OF THE RECALL ON MY CAR UNTIL I GOT ON THE COMPUTER AND CHECKED YOUR SITE. THE DEALER DID NOT INFORM ME OF THE RECALL. THIS IS GOING TO COST ME 375.00 SO FAR IF THEY CAN GET IT FIXED BY MONDAY 1/25/1999 AND 240.00 IN RENTAL FEES! WHAT DO I DO NOW? THANK YOU FOR YOUR SITE, IT WAS VERY HELPFUL. DW
