JUST LIKE MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ON HERE, MY VEHICLE STARTS ACTING CRAZY WITH LIGHTS FLASHING, AND FEELS LIKE IT WON'T SHIFT AND GO ABOVE 40MPH. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH, AND PCM. THIS COST ME $1200. IT STOPPED FOR A BIT, THEN STARTED AGAIN A MONTH OR TWO LATER WHEN THEY TOLD ME IT NEEDED MOTOR MOUNTS AND A NEW PCM (WHICH THEY SAID THEY CHANGED, BUT I DON'T BELIEVE IT). IT IS NOW BACK THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND I'M NOW ON THE 4TH DAY IT'S THERE AND I'M GETTING NO ANSWERS, JUST A BUNCH OF SALES PEOPLE CALLING. IF THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM WHY HASN'T THIS VEHICLE BEEN RECALLED? THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND I HAVE CHILDREN THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS FOR US AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD.
