HAVE HAD THREE SEPARATE INCIDENTS THAT LEAD ME TO BELIEVE TH TIPM IS FAULTY. I'VE HAD TWO INCIDENTS WHERE THE VEHICLE ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. EACH TIME I PUT THE TRANS IN N, TURNED THE IGNITION, AND CONTINUED DRIVING. ONE INCIDENT, WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY, WHERE THE TPM SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON, THEN AN ERROR MESSAGE STATING "CHECK TPM SYSTEM" CAME ON, FOLLOWED BY THE PSI READINGS FOR EACH TIRE CHANGED FROM 38 TO -- ONE BY ONE... THEN JUST AS QUICK, EVERYTHING WENT BACK TO NORMAL. YESTERDAY HAD AN INCIDENT WHERE, AFTER DRIVING AROUND ALL DAY, I SHUT THE CAR OFF THEN ALMOST IMMEDIATELY TRIED TO START IT ONLY TO HAVE THE CLASSIC "CLICK, CLICK, CLICK". AFTER A COUPLE ATTEMPTS OF TURNING IGNITION BACK AND FORTH, I GOT A JUMP AND THEN THE ENGINE STARTED WITHOUT ISSUE. AFTER THE JUMP I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP.

RECEIVED THE SAFETY RECALL NOTICE R03/NHTSA 14V-373 IN MAY 2015. CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER, LADD HANFORD IN LEBANON, PA WITH THE NOTICE IN JUNE 2015. I HAVE HEARD NOTHING FROM THE DEALER. I CALLED IN SEPTEMBER 2015 AND I WAS TOLD IT WOULD TAKE SOME TIME TO GET THE PARTS IN ORDER TO PERFORM THE RECALL SERVICE. IT IS NOW GOING ON 1 YEAR FROM THE TIME THAT I'VE CALLED. IN THE MEANTIME, I HAVE RECEIVED 2 MORE NOTICES FROM THEM ABOUT THE RECALL AND REQUIRED SERVICE. SHOULD IT TAKE A DEALER OVER 1 YEAR IN ORDER TO OBTAIN PARTS AND PERFORM SERVICE ON A RECALL SERVICE BULLETIN?

BRAKING PROBLEMS. CAR SHAKES WHEN BRAKING AT HIGHER SPEEDS. GROWLING NOISE WHEN BRAKING AT TIMES. VEHICLE ROTORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWICE.

MY VAN WILL SOMETIMES NOT START THE FIRST TIME I TURN THE KEY, I MAY HAVE TO MOVE THE GEAR SHIFT, OR JUST TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON. IT HAS STALLED ON ME 4 TIMES OVER THE LAST 3 MONTHS, ONCE GOING 65 MPH, I SUDDENLY LOST POWER. I TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC, THEY SAID THE STARTER CONNECTIONS WERE A LITTLE CORRODED SO THEY CLEANED THEM AND HE CHANGED THE SPARK PLUGS. THE FIRST TIME I TRIED STARTING IT AFTER GETTING IT HOME IT WOULDN'T START WITHOUT TURNING THE KEY OFF AND ON AND IT STALLED IN MY DRIVEWAY. I CONTACTED THE SERVICE CENTER AGAIN, THEY REPLACED THE RELAY, BUT WASN'T SURE THAT WOULD FIX THE NOT STARTING PROBLEM. IT DIDN'T FIX IT. I HAVE NOT HAD IT STALL AGAIN, BUT THE STALLING DID NOT RE- OCCUR AS OFTEN. I FEEL LIKE THE STALLING IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE, I HAVE VERY LITTLE CONFIDENCE IN THE SAFETY OF MY VEHICLE.
