| Description of the problem | Recall campaign #14v434000 was repaired in 2014. The identical problem is occurring now in 2017. I have no idea it the vehicle is actually in park because the indicator lights do not light up, so i always have to use the emergency brake. When i am in drive, i now have to ensure the doors are locked manually because the vehicle does not realize i am in drive and keeps the doors unlocked. On 8/28/17 i requested a service appointment and was told i have to drive this unsafe vehicle until 09/19/17 before i can bring it in to see if they can fix the problem. Also, on 8/15/17 i had a one-time incident where my brakes slipped. Luckily, the brakes have not slipped again. |
