Owner complaint summary

I took my vehicle on a road trip- it ran fine and I did not have any warnings or indications of a problem. When I stopped at my hotel room, the vehicle was fine. I went out to start it the next morning and I was met by a vehicle that would not attempt to start. It came up with a check engine light, e brake light, ABS error and a couple of other lights/error messages. I had to have the vehicle towed to a local shop where they informed me that this was associated with recall 94B. This recall was posted over six months ago and there is still no fix available. My vehicle will not start or run, and is not safe to drive even if I could get it to start. I am being told that it is impossible to fix until the manufacturer releases a repair option. I had to pay not only to have my vehicle towed and inspected by the first shop, but also I had to pay for it to be towed all the way back home (because I was on vacation when this happened) and it is now at a second shop who has confirmed the diagnosis and that no repair is available. This is my primary source of transportation for myself and my children, and I am being told that six months ago this issue was acknowledged by the manufacturer, but they have not fixed it. I contacted the support line for the manufacturer and was transferred six times, and then I was ultimately told that a supervisor would call me back with a solution, but that hasn’t happened yet. I asked if I should have my vehicle towed again to get it to the dealership for repairs and if they could offer me a loaner vehicle and the representative said she couldn’t advise me on that and I had to wait to hear back from a supervisor. I need them to either make a fix available or provide me a loaner or replacement vehicle if they are unable to resolve the problem. I purchased this vehicle in good faith.
