I have brought my car september 2013. I started having problems in july 2014. My car wouldnt start with the first turn. But I would try again and it starts. So one day driving down the road it stalled on the highway. Never started back up. The mechanic said it was the fuel regulator and oil pressure gauge which he changed . I still had the problem of not starting on the first try. I found out I had a recall on the ignitions switch which was finally changed. I received a letter after the recall was completed. But the recall said it was an electrical switch and they only fixed the key ring. I thought they would change the ignition switch. Now my car still doe the same and mechanics are stating they can not locate the issue. I can be driving down the road and it will stall on me. I need to get this resolved before the hazardous roads conditions are among us.
