| Description of the problem | On july 21, 2010 my blinkers and dash lights were not functioning. I took the vehicle to the dealership for repair. They replaced the multi-function switch and updated the key fobs per a recall notice. $240. 32 charge. On august 24th, 2010 i experienced being locked inside of my vehicle in 100 degree heat. I could not open the windows, doors, or sunroof. The a/c did not function and the dash lights were not functioning. At this time they did something to the control module. Under warranty - no charge. On july 13, 2012 i took it to the dealership because the vehicle was stalling at high rates of speed (it felt like we were being rear-ended), the check engine and other warning lights were illuminating. They reprogrammed the pcm. Under warranty - no charge. On october 4, 2012 i returned to the dealership as the vehicle was again stalling at high rates of speed, and also shutting off at low rates of speed or while idling. The service department was able to reproduce the problem and replaced the powertrain control module. Under warranty - no charge. Today while driving i experienced both stalling at high speeds and the vehicle turning off at low speed. I have another appointment scheduled for tomorrow. My safety and the safety of others is at risk by driving this vehicle. |
