“BEFORE IT BROKE DOWN COMPLETELY THE VAN WAS DRIVING FUNNY, LIKE IF IT DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH STRENGTH ESPECIALLY WHEN I WAS DRIVING HILL BUT ONE NIGHT I WAS DRIVING THE VAN AND SUDDENLY JUST SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OFF THE HIGHWAY. THANKS GOD I DIDN'T HAVE MANY CARS BEHIND ME AND I MANAGE TO AVOID GETTING HIT BY HOLDING MY PHONE OUT THE WINDOW SO TO BE SEEN UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO "DRIVE" TO A SECTION OF ROAD WITH STREET LIGHTS. THE NEXT DAY I HAD IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT START ANYMORE. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THERE WAS A LOT OF COMPLAINTS FOR THIS PROBLEM.SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT ARE THEY WAITING FOR TO MAKE THIS AN OFFICIAL RECALL. I FEEL VERY LUCKY MY CHILDREN AND WIFE WERE NOT IN THE VEHICLE DURING THESE PAST INCIDENCES. I WOULD LIKE A RESPONSE FROM YOU ON THIS RECALL MATTER A.S.A.P. THANK YOU.”

“WHERE TO START.... EVERY TIME ITS RAINING MY VAN STARTS TO PUTT AND STALL OUT I HAVE ALMOST HAD 3 ACCIDENTS DUE TO MY VAN STALLING ON A MAIN ROAD TRYING TO GET HOME...ISSUE #2. I USE MY KEY PAD TO UNLOCK MY VEHICLE ON NIGHTS THAT IM WORKING AND LATELY IT WILL UNLOCK THEN RE LOCK N UNLOCK OVER AND OVER WITH OUT BEING TOUCHED. I WAS DRIVING DOWN A ROAD AND IT WOULD UNLOCK AND LOCK.. ITS NOT SAFE IF ITS UNLOCKING ITS SELF AND MY 2 YEAR OLD REACHS HE COULD OPEN THE DOOR WHILE DRIVING... ISSUE #3..
