Defect Description:
UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
When driving my GEM on the street it just stalls, quits unexpectedly. The dealer replaced the wiring harness a short time ago and ran without problems for about six weeks before starting to stall again. It is a dangerous, unsafe vehicle that could get you killed if it stalls when a car or truck is behind you. These GEM models should be recalled and the consumer's money refunded. The dealer will not respond to my messages and so I am left with an unsafe, undriveable vehicle. You are my only avenue to redress of this unfair situation.
