Description of the problem | My vehicle has been having difficulty starting. It sometimes takes 3-10 times to start. It sometimes doesn't start at all, leaving me stranded with an infant in tow. I had the problem diagnosed and was informed of a temporary repair to the problem but then learned of an upcoming recall for the tipm. I decided to wait on repairing the issue, unsure as to whether the fix prescribed by the dealer would be reimbursed once the recall was released. I just got an 'initial' recall notice which stated that there still was no repair for this problem - even though it was said to be the cause of potential crashes and stalls mid-drive. As i have a small child in the car with me every time i drive, i am extremely cautious and nervous about this issue and the risk i am taking by continuing to drive this vehicle without a repair. I bought this car specifically because of the safety it would provide my family in transportation. Now i am acutely aware of the dangers involved and the need for a fix immediately. |
