| Description of the problem | Van was parked in our garage. We got in to go to church and the van would not start!! I put my foot on the brake and it was rock-hard and when i turned the key it just clicked and tried to start then died. I continued to try to start by moving the shift lever/hitting the brake/turning the key and the van started and we went to church. Today, 10/29/14, i parked my van at winn-dixie and went inside to shop. When i returned to leave the same symptoms exhibited and finally the van started. I called my dealer and was told that it may be associated with the recall on my key fob electronic shifter recall, but there were no parts available yet. I was also asked if there was an engine light that went on and i said no. I was told that then they could not check on their computers for the problem unless the "check engine light" had exhibited. So, here i am--------------------what should i do????? |
