| Description of the problem | Before it broke down completely the van was driving funny, like if it didn't have enough strength especially when i was driving hill but one night i was driving the van and suddenly just shut off in the middle off the highway. Thanks god i didn't have many cars behind me and i manage to avoid getting hit by holding my phone out the window so to be seen until i was able to "drive" to a section of road with street lights. The next day i had it towed to my mechanic because it would not start anymore. The mechanic told me there was a lot of complaints for this problem. So i don't know what are they waiting for to make this an official recall. I feel very lucky my children and wife were not in the vehicle during these past incidences. I would like a response from you on this recall matter a. S. A. P. Thank you. |
