The consumer stated she was told, that a mechanical check had been performed on the vehicle, after she inquired as to why the brakes were squeaking. After she took the vehicle to a third party mechanic, she was informed the brakes were metal on metal and the front and rear brakes needed to be replace.

On three separate occasions the battery died and a new battery was purchased. Also, there was a hole in the exhaust system, the consumer purchased a an ignition cylinder, and alternator.
With no reason the engine will cut off, leaving me with no power to steer or move. Have been to numerous repair shops and they can not find the cause. I think it is the electrical switch that needs to be replaced. The cost is approximately $ 500. 00. Will general motors pay for this? should this not be on the recall list? this is highly dangerous as someone could hit me when it stalls.
