Sunfire

Engine shuts off without warning, while driving. Fails to start when cold and also after driving. Vehicle was towed twice in four days. Fuel pump was initially thought to be the problem. Taken to dealership 2 times in 7 days after the $700 fuel pump replacement. Although technicians are doing everything they can to help me, they have been unable to identify the problem. In my opinion, the NHTSA should consider any vehicle that stops on the freeway unsafe to drive and worthy of investigation. Thank you, in advance, for your assistance..
