PER THE RECALL, THE TRANSAXLE OIL PUMP MAY EXPERIENCE A LOSS OF PRESSURE WHILE DRIVING AND WILL RESULT IN A LOSS OF POWER AND COULD CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET IN TOUCH WITH THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT THE VAN FROM NEW(L&M MOTORS IN ATHENS, TN), AND FOR ABOUT 4 WEEKS THEY KEEP TELLING ME TO CALL BACK NEXT WEEK. I HAVE A FAMILY WITH TWO YOUNG BOYS. I BOUGHT THE VAN TO MAKE SURE THEY WERE SAFE, AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE WITH THEM RIDING IN IT. I DON'T HAVE ANOTHER VEHICLE TO PARK THIS ONE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY DON'T GIVE ME AN APPOINTMENT, AND ORDER THE PARTS FOR ME. FOR LESS THAN 10,0000 MILES WHEN I RECEIVED THE RECALL, I DON'T THINK MY FAMILY IS SAFE ANYMORE FOR SUCH A NEW VEHICLE.
