Description of the problem	I have complained many times of my van not starting. It has only been documented 3 times, and each and every time i bring it in the mechanic tells me there is no faulty code. The first time it is doc. Was oct. 12 2009, second was july 23 2010. The last one that was documented was june 1 2011. They wanted to tow it in, in the meantime my husband googled the problem and told me to turn the car on, apply brake and shift to n, then turn off and restart. This did help and i was able to start the van. It was 'dead mans switch'. They still did tow it in and surprisingly were not able to find a problem. They told me next time to not start it like that again and just get it towed in again. When i went to pick my van up they told me there was a 'pending' recall. So with three kids, a husband who travels for work and i have to wait to have a solid recall. This has been a huge waist of my time and is very frustrating and worrisome. Each and every time i have brought my van in they have told me there is nothing wrong with it. I have complained about this matter at least 6-7 times. My doors have also locked on their own and the remote start will fail often, they have replaced my keys, but that did not fix the problem.
