Driving and all electrical power was suddenly lost, power steering lost-hard to steer. Managed to pull over - turn off/on ignition and car started backup.

I'm buying this car from a car dealer J B byrider. On 3/26/10 I took the Saturn SC1 out for a test drive during the day time and came back and told them about the noise I heard coming from the back of the car. Was told that a part was being odor. 3/30/10 took the car back to the dealer to let them know that the seat belt was coming across my neck and locking, and the there was only one light on my dashboard showing the speed and nothing else. Was told order a part for the seat belt and would look at the dash broad when I came back (it was said that the dash broad lights were ok). 3/31/10 took the car to a Saturn dealer and asked about the dash board lights and found out that it's not ok. I called jb byrider and spoke to the service manger at 3:10 pm, whom said that he knew who I was and again the part was order and would look at the dashboard lights when I came in for the seat belt. I did not hear from them. So on 4/10/10 I took the car back and the service department was close, do not work on sat? spoke to the person that sold me the car first then to the on the site on call manger. Neither would write up a new service, and I was told to call the service manger again today 4/11/10 after 12 pm. Now on the service order that I have it say " void if not use in 30 days from the sale date which as 3/26/10. So I express that I felt that it meant that after 30 days anything that I would on my car that was wrong would not be taken care of. The manger said well when I test drove the car all these things should have been written on this order, I explain I got the car doing the day so therefore could not see that the dash broad lights did not work, and the seat belt I thought I needed to just adjust my seat but when a looked and seen a pieces was missing from the side of the seat I came back with the car 4 days after I got the car. I came back as soon as I could. I feel that the are delaying because in 2 weeks it will be the 30 days 4/26/10 not fixed anything.
