THE FIRST INCIDENT DATE OF MY CAR'S FAILURE TO START IS APPROXIMATE; THE PROBLEM GOES BACK SEVERAL YEARS. APPROXIMATELY SIX MONTHS AGO, I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY DEALERSHIP AFTER IT REFUSED TO START AT A NEARBY STOP.

IN APPROX 2004 ON WAY TO MILITARY CONFERENCE MY CAR STALLED WHILED PULLING OUT FROM GAS STATION. IT HAD BEEN STALLING WEEK PRIOR BUT WAS THOUGHT TO BE BECAUSE OF BAD GAS...IT'S FINAL STALL WAS OF COURSE ON THE WAY TO A MILITARY FUNCTION WHERE I SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN LATE. IT WAS TOWED TO JEFF GORDAN'S CHEVY, WILMINGTON, NC AND APPROX $1400 LATER I HAD A NEW FUEL PUMP AND ?? . RAN GREAT AGAIN UNTIL APPROX LATE 2010 OR EARLY 2011. ALMOST GOT T-BONED DOING A TURN WITH INCOMING TRAFFIC WHEN MY BABY STALLED AS I WAS DRIVING TO THE CLOSEST MECHANIC, FIRESTONE ON GEN BOOTH, VA BEACH 23454 AFTER IT HAD BEEN STALLING ALL WEEK-MILEAGE APPROX 85,000.
