64 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 04/02/2014

As I was pulling out of a parking lot the vehicle just shut off with no warning. Thank god I wasn't going too fast as I had no steering, no brakes, etc. . . Checked the gm website about the recall and it states to take everything off the key ring except the key. Well I've only got the key on the ring so that excuse doesn't wash. I called the gm customer center and they told me that my car wasn't included in the recall with the faulty ignitions, then they hung up on me. Well it should be. I think this ignition problem is a lot bigger than they are admitting. What am I supposed to do, I can't afford to fork over big bucks to a dealer. I'm a single working mom.
