HOW MANY THOUSANDS OF INCIDENTS MUST OCCUR BEFORE YOU PEOPLE TAKE ACTION.THIS SEEMS TO BE A WELL DOCUMENTED MANUFACTURING DEFECT WHICH CAUSES THE CAR TO RANDOMELY NOT START. PERHAPS THERE SHOULD BE AN INVESTIGATION INTO YOUR INVESTIGATION OF THIS MATTER, OR LACKK THEREOF. I HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF DESCRIPTIONS OF PROBLEMS EFFECTING THIS CAR INCLUDING TSBS. YET THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL . WHY NOT? I AM FRUSTRATED AS YOU MIGHT WELL IMAGINE KNOWING THAT MY DAUGHTER AND HER SON ARE DRIVING AROUND IN A CAR THAT RANDOMELY BREAKS DOWN AND YET NONE OF THE SHOPS IS ABLE TO DIAGNOS THE PROBLEM. SERVICE BILL AFTER SERVICE BILL, FOR NOTHING. ONLY TO FIND A RECALL EFFORT REGARDING THIS ON THE INTERNET. CHANNEL 7 NEWS INVESTIGATIVE REPORTS WILL BE MY NEXT CALL, I WONDER JUST WHOS CAGE NEEDS TO BE RATTLED BEFORE THIS MATTER IS SERIOUSLY GIVEN THE ATTENTION IT DESERVES, OR ARE YOU WAITING TO SEE ACTUAL STATISTICS.. NO SAFETY DEFECT LISTED. *AK
