Rio 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
The vehicle shuts off while in motion, happend more than 10 times already but the car started up I took the car to the dealer 3 times already for this problem problem started around March 2003, this last time I took the vehicle to the dealer they tell me "oh the other mechanic didn't know how to fix it", "and the problem is fixed and "shouldn"T" happen again. Thats not very reassuring, I am scared to drive the car.
