2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Electronic Stability Control (esc) Problems

OCTOBER 8,2020 I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN HILL ON A CITY STREET IN PUYALLUP, WA WHEN THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. I HAD NO STEERING, BRAKES, OR ANYWAY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. I MANAGED TO COAST INTO A NEARBY LOWES HARDWARE PARKING LOT AND RAN INTO A BARRIER IN ORDER TO STOP. I WAS LUCKY THERE WERE NO PEOPLE OR OTHER CARS IN MY PATH OF TRAVEL WHEN I ENTERED AS I WAS UNABLE TO STOP. I CALLED MY INSURER, GEICI, AND ARRANGED FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE TOWED. TOWING WAS PERFORMED BY ENGELS TOWING , PUYALLUP, WA (253) 845-0034. CHECKING ONLINE I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP AND NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I, MY FAMILY, OR OTHERS COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOULY INJURED OR KILLED.

SLIDING PASSENGER DOORS ON BOTH SIDES OF VAN REFUSE TO OPEN OR UNLOCK. DOORS CANNOT BE OPENED MANUALLY, WITH KEY FOB OR WITH THE BUTTON ON THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR. THIS PREVENTS PASSENGERS IN REAR (USUALLY CHILDREN) FROM BEING ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE, WHICH COULD BE PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH.

2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN HAD A FAULTY TIPM AND IS A KNOWN PROBLEM COSTING WELL OVER $1500.00 AT DODGE TO GET A NEW TIPM. THIS EFFECTS THE STABILITY CONTROL MODULE, THE TRANSMISSION ELECTRONIC SHIFTING, THE BRAKE LIGHTS AND THE AIR CONDITIONING JUST TO NAME A FEW ISSUES. WE HAVE REACHED OUT TO DODGE AND THEY WILL NOT COVER IT.

VAN WOULD TURN OVER BUT NOT START. THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN OVER AND OVER. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I NEEDED A NEW TIPM AND FUEL PUMP. BUT FOUND OUT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, AND THEY ISSUED A RECALL FOR OTHER VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME PART. IT IS THE FUEL RELAY SWITCH INSIDE OF TIPM THAT GOES BAD. IT SEEMS THE FUEL PUMP IS FINE. I CAN BUY A REPAIR PART VERY CHEAP. THIS IS PLASTERED ALL OVER ONLINE AND I THINK THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE A RECALL!

TIPM IS BAD ON VEHICLE, CONFIRMED BY RICK KEFFER DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM DEALERSHIP IN YULEE, FL TWO YEARS AGO. VEHICLE STALLED ON HIGHWAY AND THEN LATER WOULD NOT START. PURCHASED A BYPASS CABLE IN ORDER TO KEEP USING THE VEHICLE AND WHILE DRIVING WE GET INDICATOR LIGHTS FLASHING ON DASHBOARD SUCH AS BRAKE ON WHEN IT'S NOT, SEATBELT LIGHT ON WHEN SEATBELTS ARE BUCKLED, LIGHTS FLASHING OR STAYING ON WHEN TURNED OFF. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE !!! I HAVE THREE KIDS, AGES 13, 12, AND 10 AND THIS IS OUR PRIMARY FAMILY VEHICLE. THE TIPM HAS ALREADY BEEN RECALLED FOR OTHER MAKE AND MODELS WITH CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP FOR 2011-2014 BUT NOT THE GRAND CARAVANS.

FEBRUARY 2,2018 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN TURNED OFF AND PARKED IN DRIVE WAY MY DAUGHTER COMES IN AND SAID THE VAN SOUNDS LIKE IT'S STILL RUNNING WENT OUT AND HEARD WHAT SHE HEARD ALSO CHECK ON THIS THREE TIMES BEFORE GOING TO BED( THIS NOISE CAME FROM THE GAS TANK). THE NEXT DAY 02/03/2018 NOISE WAS NOT THERE ANYMORE. I HAD SCHEDULE RECALL WORK TO BE PERFORM ON 02/05/2018 BUT RE-SCHEDULE WITH SERVICE ADVISOR FOR 02/06/2018 CAR WOULD NOT START KEY STUCK IN IGNITION SWITCH. TOW TRUCK PICKED UP 02/07/2018 TOOK TO DEALERSHIP EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPEN I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE ADVISOR TO EXPECT A CALL ON FRIDAY 02/09/2018 CALL CAME DEAD BATTERY(NEW BATTERY 01/24/2018) AND THE TIPM KIT WAS NEEDED. THIS VEHICLE 2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN TIPM SHOULD BE LISTED AS A RECALL. I STARTED LAST YEAR HAVING STARTING CONCERNS WITH THIS VAN NOT WANTING TO START.

Mileage: 98,147

I HAVE COMPLAINT REGARDING TIPM BUT NOW MY BATTERY IS DRAINED AND CAR WON'T TURN ON. WHEN IS DODGE GOING TO STEP IN AND HELP THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH SAME PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE DIES BC VAN TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING AND FAMILY SUES? WHY IT HAS TO TAKE A TRAGIC ACCIDENT BEFORE DODGE STEPS IN? I'M SURE AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH CHILDREN DRIVING AND STILL PAYING FOR THIS GARBAGE VAN. I WILL NEVER BUY DODGE AGAIN. GETTING A LAWYER.

I HAVE POSTED COMPLAINTS FOR 2 YEARS WITH SAME PROBLEM REGARDING THE TIPM HOWEVER I WAS READING THE REASON OF NOT BEING RECALLED IS BECAUSE ALL THE TIPM SYSTEMS WILL MALFUNCTION REGARDLESS HOW MANY TIMES IT'S CHANGE. IF THIS IS SO WHY THEY DON'T RECALL ALL THIS VEHICLES.? I'VE BEEN STUCK NUMEROUS OF TIMES, REPLACED (2) $200 BATTERIES BC THE TIPM EATS THE BATTERY. I HAVE CHILDREN AND IT IS NOT FAIR TO BE STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE WHEN CAR DECIDERS NOT TO TURN ON.. MAKE IT A RECALL FOR EVEN EXCHANGED FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE WHERE WIE WILL BE SAFE.

FUEL PUMP RELAY WHICH I THINK ITS THE FUSE BOX. MY VECHILE WONT START AND WHEN IT DOES , THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURN ON AND ITS GAVE US A MALFUNCTION SENSOR

I HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM A YEAR AGO AFTER SEEING THE LAWSUIT ON JEEP CHEROKEE AND DODGE DURANGOS. HAVING TO REPLACE THE TPIM MODULE. I'VE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINT ABOUT HAVING TO CHANGE THE BATTERY THEN THE ALTENATOR THEN THE TPIM. I DID ALL THAT AND MY VEHICLES ELECTRICAL SYSTEM STILL IS GIVING ME PROBLEMS. THE DOORS WILL NOT SIDE OPEN THE AIR BLOWS HEAT AUTOMATICALLY WHEN NOT EVEN ON AND NOW WON'T EVEN START. PROBLEM AFTER PROBLEM AND STILL NO RECALL. THERE HAS BEEN HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT FAULTY TIPM'S AND EVEN A LAWSUIT. THE DEALERSHIP SAY'S THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BUT EACH PERSON I'VE SEEN COMPLAIN SHARES THE SAME PROBLEM. FIRST TOLD IT'S THE BATTERY THEN THE ALTENATOR THEN THE TPIM. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN RECALLED. DODGE KNOWS THIS IS A PROBLEM OR THEY WOULDN'T HAVE SETTLED A LAWSUIT ABOUT THE CHEROKEE AND THE DURANGO. THIS IS NOT RIGHT AT ALL AND WE NEED HELP FIXING THIS ISSUE ASAP.

VAN WILL SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEED, NORMALLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO TURN, WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS AS YOU HAVE TO COAST ACROSS THE ROAD WITH NO POWER. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS OR ERROR CODES OF ANY KIND. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES ALMOST CAUSING ACCIDENTS. THE ENGINE DOES RUN ABNORMALLY AND PERFORMS WELL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WHEN THE PROBLEM HAPPENS IT IS JUST AS IF YOU TURNED OFF THE IGNITION, BUT THE RADIO AND DASH LIGHTS STILL WORK. THE VAN WILL RESTART NORMALLY AND DRIVE. HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE ISSUE FOR A MECHANIC TO SEE THE ISSUE IT SEEMS TO BE RANDOM.

Mileage: 131,000

TIPM NEEDING TO BE REPLACED DUE TO ALL WARNING LIGHT AND WIPERS CUTTING ON, DOORS NOT FUNCTIONING, ALL ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONING. MOTOR CUTTING OFF LOW SPEED. 20 CODES LISTED. DODGE IS WILLING TO REPLACE FOR AROUND $1000 MY COST.

MY VAN DOES NOT ALWAYS START.--WHEN PARKED IN DRIVEWAY OR PARKING LOT; NO DIFFERENCE IF FLAT OR HILL OR ANYTHING. SOME DAYS IT STARTS WITH OUT ANY PROBLEMS, OTHER DAYS IT WILL NOT START EVER--IT MIGHT START AT 8AM, NOT AT 11AM, BUT WORK FOR A WEEK...NO PATTERN. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE SHOW 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS--EACH TIME IT STAYED FOR MORE THAN 3 DAYS. THEY THOUGHT BATTERY; BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY. NEXT DAY, NO START. ONLY WARNING LIGHT WAS KEY BATTERY LOW--SO THEY CHANGED THAT (EVEN THOUGH I HAD ALREADY DONE THAT). NEXT DAY, NO START AND SAME LOW KEY BAT WARNING. THEN IT WOULD BE FINE FOR A FEW DAYS... AND AGAIN RANDOM START OR NO STARTS. THE LAST TIME THE RED "ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL" LIGHT WAS ON--IT SHUTS OFF AFTER A FEW SECONDS. SOMETIMES, WHEN IT DOESN'T WANT TO, BUT THEN DOES START, IT ACTS LIKE IT WANTS TO SHUT DOWN WHILE I AM DRIVING. IT WILL SPUTTER AND SEEM LIKE IT WANTS TO SHUT OFF. THE FOLKS AT THE GARAGE ARE COMPLETELY PERPLEXED BY THIS AND HAVE OFFERED TO COME TO MY HOUSE/WORK THE NEXT TIME TO SEE IT BC IT DOESN'T ALWAYS DO IT FOR THEM--WE THINK BECAUSE IF I JUMP IT, IT DOES A TEMPORARY FIX. BUT, THEY ALSO WARN BASED ON OVER CHARGING/SHOCKING A GOOD BATTERY. ANYTHING WE GOOGLE SAYS TO BE CAREFUL DRIVING AND GET TO SHOP... WELL SHOP CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT. I HAVE HEARD ABOUT A FEW RECALLS FOR IGNITION AND KEYS, AND I HAVE A CALL IN TO THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS. I AM WORRIED THAT I WILL BE STUCK OUT WITH MY KIDS; END UP CRASHING WITH MY KIDS; OR WITH THE BAD WEATHER COMING, WE WILL HAVE EITHER OF THEM HAPPEN AND BE STUCK IN THE SNOW. *TR

WELL FROM THE TIME I PURCHASED THE CAR I TOLD THE DEALER ABOUT THE IGNITION. THE CAR SPEEDING OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING IN A REGULAR STREET OR HIGHWAY. THE WARNING LIGHTS DOESN'T WARN . ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. RIDING IN THE CAR IN STREET YESTERDAY ONCE AGAIN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED IN ME IN TRAFFIC AND IT SHUT DOWN. NO WARNING. SO DANGEROUS. THERE IS NO WAY THERE SHOULD BE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES AND THEY NOT HAVE A RECALL AND REPAIRS .MY ALTERNATOR ACTUALLY FRIED AND WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED ALONG WITH MY CHILDREN!!!! I'M SCARED. IM PAYING $500.00 DOLLARS A MONTH FOR A VEHICLE THAT IS SITTING AND I CAN'T DRIVE. PLEASE GIVE HELLO ME TO GET JUSTICE.

BOUGHT VEHICLE 10 MTHS AGO. HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH IT STARTING. ANTI THEFT SYSTEM CAME ON, BATTERY DRAINED AND KEY LOCKED IN IGNITION. COULD NOT GET IT OUT WITHOUT CHARGING BATTERY. VEHICLE IS NOW NOT WANTING TO START EVERY TIME. TOOK TO DEALER, FOUND OUT HAS FAULTY TIPM. PARTS ON BACK ORDER AND WILL END UP COSTING ALMOST $1200 TO REPAIR. STILL OWE $14000 FOR VEHICLE AND HAVE TO GET REPAIRS. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED FOR MY 89 YEAR OLD MOTHER SO THAT SHE WOULD BE ABLE TO PUT HER ELECTRIC SCOOTER IN THE BACK OF IT FOR TRAVEL. COMPANY THIS WAS PURCHASED AT, I AM SURE KNEW OF THE ISSUE, JUST AS I AM SURE THEY KNEW OF RECALL ON A WINDOW SWITCH THAT WASN'T REPAIRED. IF THIS PART IS NOT REPAIRS, STEERING CAN GO OUT WHILE DRIVING, AMONGST OTHER FATAL THINGS, SUCH AS BRAKES GOING OUT OR STALLING MIDDLE OF DRIVING. DEALER TRYING TO BLAME OTHER COMPANY FOR INSTALLING FAULTY TIPM, WHEN IT IS THE COMPANY'S FAULTY PART.

THE VEHICLE WAS HARD TO START AND OFTEN WOULD NOT START, FAULTY TIPM.

Mileage: 60,000

MY VEHICLE HAD A DEFECTIVE TIPM MODULE IN IT. I FIRST HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY THEN THE ALTENATOR THEN THE KEY FOB AND FINALLY THE TIPM MODULE. LOOKING BACK THAT ALL OF THE FIRST REPAIRS TURNED OUT NOT TO BE THE PROBLEM. WE HAD ALWAYS NOTICED THAT AT TIMES THE WINDOWS WOULD AUTOMATICALLY ROLL DOWN AND THAT THE ELECTRIC DOORS WOULD SUDDENLY OPEN UP. WE NEVER QUITE KNEW WHAT IT WAS UNTIL NOW. WE REPLACED THE TIPM AND IT WORKED FINE. AFTER SPENDING 800 DOLLARS THAT I DIDN'T REAL NEED TO THE TIPM WAS ANOTHER 1000 DOLLARS. I'VE SEEN THE LAWSUIT THAT IS ON GOING RELATED TO THE VERY SAME PROBLEM I HAD IN THE GRAND CHEROKEES AND THE DODGE DURANGOS. MY VEHICLE IS LIST IN THE ADDENDUM TO THE LAWSUIT. I'M VERY FRUSTRATED I HAD TO SPEND FIRST 800 DOLLARS THAT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM THEN THE1000 DOLLARS KNOWING THEY HAVEN'T HAD A RECALL YET AFTER SO MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE SAME ISSUES.

Mileage: 65,000

FIRST I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE BATTERY THEN IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR THEN IT WAS THE KEY FOB. AFTER ALL THESE REPAIRS THE DODGE DEALERSHIP SAYS NOW IT'S THE TIMP MODULE. THIS VAN ONLY HAS 65000 MILES. I HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE VERY SAME ISSUES FOR CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME TYPE VEHICLES. I HAVE ALSO SEEN THE LAWSUIT AND RECALL FOR DEFECTIVE TIMP FROM 2013 AND 2014. MY VEHICLE IS ONE THAT WAS LISTED AS AN ADDENDUM LAWSUIT THAT MAY BE AFFECTED BY THIS MODULE. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN FLORIDA IN 2012.

Mileage: 65,000

THE TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, MY WINDOWS WEREN'T WORKING, THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT WOULD NOT TURN OFF. MY CAR STALLS EACH MORNING 4X'S BEFORE IT CAN BE TURNED ON. I WORK WITH DOGS, AND WHEN I HAVE PARKED WITH A CAR FULL OF DOGS, I HAVE WAITED UP TO 45 MINUTES TO UNTIL MY CAR HAD BEEN ABLE TO FINALLY START AND DRIVE OFF WHICH IS DANGEROUS FOR THE LIVELIHOOD OF THE ANIMALS! I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER, AND HAVE TO PAY ALMOST 2,000 DOLLARS TO GET THIS FIXED. THIS IS NOT A WARE AND TEAR ISSUE, THIS IS A FAULTY DODGE PART!!!

MY VAN SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC ON NORTH ROXBORO ROAD ON THE WAY TO NORTHERN HIGH SCHOOL. I WAS PROTECTED UNTIL AAA CAME AND TOWED MY CAR TO THE DEALER. I RENTED A CAR AND I PAID FOR THE 1ST WEEK OF THE RENTAL AND THE OTHER WEEK WAS CARED FOR BY THE DEALER. IT IS UNKNOWN WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AT THIS POINT IN TIME. ONCE THIS HAPPENED, A FEW MONTHS LATER THE CAR BEGAN TO CUT OFF AT THE GAS STATION THE DAY BEFORE MY FAMILY WAS ABOUT TO TRAVEL OUT OF TOWN. ONCE IT CUT OFF WE HAD TO DRIVE ANOTHER CAR THAT WAS NOT WORKING WELL TO OUR DESTINATION. AAA JUMP STARTED MY VAN IN ORDER FOR ME TO GET BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE ADVISED ME THAT I NEEDED A NEW BATTERY, HOWEVER THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THAT IF THE BATTERY WAS LOW AND I RECEIVED A JUMP START I SHOULD DRIVE THE CAR. I TRIED AND TURNED AROUND ONCE AGAIN TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAITED 30 MINUTES BEFORE SOMEONE WAS ABLE TO PUSH MY VAN INTO THE LOT. MY CAR WAS HELD MOST OF THE DAY AND AT THE END OF THE DAY THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED A BATTERY. I CALLED MY HUSBAND TO DISCUSS THE MATTER, HE WANTED TO DISCUSS THE INFORMATION WITH THEM AND THEY WERE ASKING FOR A LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY TO FIX NOT ONLY THE BATTERY, BUT THE ALTERNATOR AS WELL. THE ALTERNATOR WAS NOT THE PROBLEM I WAS TOLD ORIGINALLY. I HAD ONLY BROUGHT THE CAR TO THEIR LOCATION. THEY WANTED ALMOST A $1000.00 TO FIX MY VAN. I HAD AAA TOW MY VAN AWAY, AAA BROUGHT ME A NEW BATTERY AND THEY TESTED AND FOUND THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS THE MAIN SOURCE OF MY PROBLEMS. THE LAST TIME MY VAN SHUT OFF IT HAD ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON. THE VOLTAGE LIGHT, THE ABS BRAKE LIGHTS, THE OIL LIGHTS, THE AIR BAG LIGHTS AND THE BATTERY LIGHT. IT HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF COMMISSION. I HAD AT LEAST 3 INCIDENCES THAT INVOLVED MY CHILDREN AND FEEL THAT OUR LIVES WERE AT STAKE. I NEED TO HAVE A RESOLUTION IN THIS MATTER WITHOUT BEING REQUIRED TO BUY A NEW PLAN. I FEEL CHEATED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AS THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE HAD TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN IN ORDER TO REGAIN CONTROL. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT A FEW WEEKS LATER, THE BRAKES FAILED AS HE DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,903.

START ENGINE, PUT INTO REVERSE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND ESC LIGHT COMES ON. ONLY SEEMS TO EFFECT VEHICLE OPERATION WHEN DRIVING DOWN ROAD AND SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE TURN OR STOP. THEN IT SORT OF JERKS OR DOWNSHIFTS ROUGHLY. BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED ON JULY 13, 2012. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES ALREADY. WHEN I TOOK IT BACK FOR THEM TO CHECK IT FOR CODES, THEY SAID NOTHING SHOWED UP AND JUST RESET IT. IT HAPPENED AGAIN BEFORE I GOT HOME. *TR

Mileage: 41,000

WHEN STARTING, THE ENGINE OCCASIONALLY MAKES A RATTLING NOISE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND AFTER STATING THAT NO CODES WERE CAPTURED, THEY CLEARED THE CODE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN SO I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY REPLACED THE CAM POSITION SENSOR, WHICH THEY SAID WOULD FIX IT. IT DIDN'T AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON WITH A RATTLING AT THE START WHICH NOW OCCURS MORE FREQUENTLY. NOW THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AT THE START AND OCCASIONALLY WHEN DRIVING AT ROAD SPEEDS AND DRY CONDITIONS. THE VAN LOSES POWER AND IS SLOW TO ACCELERATE. I HAVE TO PULL OVER WHEN DRIVING, OR IF IT OCCURS AT STARTING, I HAVE TO SHUT THE VAN DOWN AND RESTART THE VAN AND THIS CORRECTS THE PROBLEM. THE NEXT TIME IT OCCURS, I WILL JUST DRIVE IT TO THE DEALER AND SHOW THEM BECAUSE THEY DON'T SEEM TO BELIEVE ME OR THEY TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I SEE THAT I AM NOW NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TOO. *TR
