Description of the problem | Since i got this vehicle the gear shift gets stuck. I have gone to the dealership to get the problem fixed. The problem has been the backlight switch. It is a big hassle trying to get this problem fixed with the dealership. The backlight switch last two to three years. I got the recall letter about the backlight switch in 2012, but why my vin number is not listed? The dealership has been charging me every single time i have been there for this constant problem. I almost got kill by the train because of this backlight switch problem. I got stuck a feet away from the rail tracks two weeks ago, there was a car at front of me and i couldn't move the gear shift to reverse. The car decided to move at the last minute and i couldn't do anything. The contention bar was over my windshield so i couldn't move forward and i couldn't move backwards because the gear shift wasn't moving. I have been in the dealership for five times and the last two times, they have kept my car there, but they haven't even touched it. They haven't told me the reason why, but i just found it out. It is because my vin number is not listed. This is a very dangerous problem. Driving a car with this problem once you apply the brakes the gear shift won't work. Neither in case you have to park or make a turn. Picking up my daughter from school is a big problem because once i park, the gear shift doesn't move down, so i have to turn it off up to three times and wait each time two to three minutes until the engine resets itself. Drivers behind me get so frustrated. Would you please help me to list my vin number? I am very concerned driving this car with my family. |
