I HAVE BEEN CALLING ABOUT GETTING THE IGNITION REPAIRED AND FOB'S REPLACED FOR ALMOST 4 MONTHS. I KEEP BEING TOLD THAT I AM ON THE LIST TO HAVE IT FIXED. I HAVE NOT BEEN TOLD WHERE I AM ON THE LIST OR GIVEN ANYTIME FRAME. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE DEALER SHIP IS ONLY GETTING ONE OR TWO KITS AT A TIME. IT HAS NOT GONE INTO THE OFF POSITION YET, BUT THE FOB IS BROKEN DUE TO THE FIRST RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE HEADLIGHTS CUT OFF WHILE WE WERE TRAVELING 55 MPH AT NIGHT. THEY WOULD WORK ONLY IF I HELD THE BRIGHT LIGHT SWITCH ALL THE WAY PULLED BACK (I TRIED ALMOST EVERYTHING KNOWN TO MAN). I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS AND QUICK FIXES. ONE WAS TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY FOR 10 MINUTES, DID NOT WORK. THE ONE THAT WORKED WAS TO HIT, SHAKE OR JIGGLE THE BLACK BOX (TIPM) UNDER THE HOOD ON DRIVERS SIDE. BINGO, IT WORKED FOR ABOUT 3 WEEKS, DID IT AGAIN, 3 WEEKS LATER HAD TO DO IT AGAIN. NOW THE LIGHTS WILL NOT WORK WHILE HOLDING THE DIM/BRIGHT SWITCH. THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON THE NEXT DAY. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND PAID $98 TO THEM ONLY TO TELL ME IT WAS THE TIPM MODULE AND NEEDED REPLACING FOR A FEE OF $1100 AND IT MIGHT NOT FIX IT DUE TO BEING A FAULTY TIPM PART. I PAID EXTRA FOR EXTENDED BUMPER TO BUMPER COVERAGE SUPPOSEDLY COVERING EVERYTHING ONLY TO FIND OUT, IT DOESNT COVER THE TIPM MODULE. I CANT AFFORD THE REPAIR RIGHT NOW SO HOPEFULLY IT WONT GO OUT WHEN DRIVING ON BUSY HIGHWAY AT NIGHT. BTW, THIS VAN IS ON THE 3RD BATTERY, PROBABLY DUE FROM THE FAULTY TIPM MODULE (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE DOOR LOCKS WORK MOST OF THE TIME BUT NOT ALL THE TIME. THE FOB RECALL WAS SAID TO FIX THAT PROBLEM. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS COME ON RANDOMLY. HEADLIGHTS GO OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT NIGHT.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
THE VEHICLE OF RECORD HAS BEEN SPONTANEOUSLY SHUTTING OFF ALL DAY, IT SHUT OFF 15 TIMES IN 1 PARKING LOT, BUT THE MOST DANGEROUS ASPECT WAS WHEN IT SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DOING THE SPEED LIMIT IN A 50 AND A 55 MPH ZONE. IT WILL GENERALLY SHUT OFF RANDOMLY, BUT PRIMARILY AT STOP SIGNS OR BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPACES, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN 3 INSTANCES WHERE IT SHUT OFF AT 40 MPH OR HIGHER IN THE LAST 8 HOURS, WHEN THESE SHUT OFFS HAPPEN IT TAKES 5-10 ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE CAR. WHEN THESE INSTANCES HAPPEN THE BRAKES AND STEERING WHEEL LOCK UP MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP AND/OR TURN.

POWER TRAIN, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY VAN HAS STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS CHANGING GEARS BETWEEN THE SPEEDS OF 30-60 MPH. THIS MOST FREQUENTLY OCCURS AROUND THE SPEEDS OF 40-50 MPH, BUT HAVE, HOWEVER, OCCURRED AT ALL SPEEDS WITHIN THE 30-60 MPH RANGE. THE VAN ALSO OFTEN ACCELERATES SLOWLY AFTER COMING TO A FULL STOP. DURING BOTH GIVEN INSTANCES, IT WILL BE SLUGGISH AND SOUNDS LIKE IT NEEDS TO SHIFT GEARS YET DOES NOT DO SO. THIS PROCESS ALSO GREATLY DEPLETES MY GAS AS THE TRANSMISSION ISN'T SHIFTING PROPERLY. I HAVE INQUIRED ABOUT A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE BUT HAVE FOUND THAT THERE AREN'T ANY. I, HOWEVER, HAVE FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE FROM OTHER OWNERS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. THE DATE I WILL PROVIDE BELOW IS APPROXIMATELY WHEN THIS STARTED OCCURRING, BUT DOES NOT IMPLY THAT THIS SITUATION ONLY OCCURRED ONCE AS IT CONTINUES STILL.
