SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN APRIL 2010, I HAVE HAD TO RETURN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 2 TIMES (JUNE 15-JUNE 19, 2010 AND AUGUST 2 - AUGUST 20, 2010) FOR THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE: A DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMP.

DURING THIS INCIDENT, NOT ONLY WAS I ABOUT 80 MILES AWAY FROM HOME, BUT I WAS TRAVELING WITH 5 CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE! AT THIS POINT, I BECAME VERY CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR! THE POSSIBILITY THAT AN ACCIDENT COULD OCCUR IF MY CAR LOST POWER AND ANOTHER VEHICLE IMPACTED THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE; OR IF I WASN'T ABLE TO PROPERLY STEER THE VEHICLE WAS EXTREMELY HIGH ON SUCH A BUSY HIGHWAY! AGAIN, ON TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 2010, THE CAR SHUT OFF ON NJ RT 78 (65 MPH ZONE). IT THEN CONTINUED TO TURN ON & OFF DURING STOP & GO TRAFFIC. IT EVEN SHUT OFF IN THE CREDIT UNION DRIVE UP BANKING WINDOW!!! SINCE THESE DEFECTS SUBSTANTIALLY IMPAIR THE USE, VALUE OR SAFETY OF MY VEHICLE, OR THE DEFECT IS ONE THAT IS LIKELY TO CAUSE DEATH OR SERIOUS BODILY INJURY IF THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN. *TR
