I purchased a vehicle form chesrown GMC/kia in columbus ohio. I bought it on June 3rd 2002 paid $10500. 00+ $892. 00 (extend warranty)when I bought the car I opted for the extended warranty. Since that time, I have had fuel pump, feul switch, feul line, fuel injectors of my car go bad (more than once!). While driving the car on a heavily traveled street the engine just stopped! my husband got out to push the vehicle putting him in danger. I took the vehicle out the next day and on three separate occasions the engine ceased. I took it to the dealer and the technicians said I dont know what it is & they finally concluded it had a bad fuel pump. They replaced it. Less than 24 hours later, I was at the shop again! the fuel pump that they put in didn't work either. I have a serious health problem which requires I be on blood thinners. An accident for a normal person would be harmful, for me it would mean almost certain death. I am scared to drive the car. I have spent thousands of dollars trying to fix it. I am contacting you to ask for your help. My uncle had the same make & model (old Aurora 97') his could not be fixed. I believe that this car is a lemon. I have put more than enough time, money & grief into trying to get it working. This particular vehicle is a dangerous one. Please help me with this issue. I am just asking for what every reasonable person would. A mechanically safe vehicle. I appreciate you taking this issue seriously, as I do not want to continue to put myself in unnecessary danger. I would be happy to provide you with every record of service & dates etc if you would like to have them (once I get it back form the shop). Sincerely, susan m. Pendleton the first failure happened on March 6th evening. The next on 3/7/03, etc. . .
