I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED, WITH APPROXIMATELY 106000 MILES. THE KEY COMES OUT OF THE IGNITION WITHOUT BEING IN PARK. I CAN EVEN TAKE THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION WHILE THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING OR DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THE FIRST TIME I PARKED AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, I FORGOT TO PUT IT IN PARK AND CAME OUT OF A STORE AND THE VEHICLE HAD ROLLED TO THE MIDDLE OF THE PARKING LOT. THANKFULLY IT HADN'T HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. WHEN I PUT IT IN PARK, I HAVE TO BE CAREFUL TO MAKE SURE IT IS IN GEAR BEFORE I EXIT THE VEHICLE. KEYLESS ENTRY DOESN'T WORK IF THE CAR IS RUNNING.

TRANSMISSION MAKES SQUEKING SOUND WHEN MAKING TRANSITION FROM REVERSE TO FORWARD.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MINIVANS. THE FUEL TANK VENT HOSE ALLOWS AIR TO VENT FROM THE FUEL TANK DURING REFUELING. CRACKS HAVE DEVELOPED IN THE VENT HOSE. IF (1) THE FUEL TANK IS OVERFILLED, NOT ALLOWING EXCESS FUEL IN THE VENT HOSE TO FLOW BACK INTO THE TANK, (2) THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN ONLY A SHORT DISTANCE AFTER REFUELING AND, (3) THERE IS SUBSEQUENTLY SIGNIFICANT HEATING OF THE FUEL TANK, THE FUEL IN THE TANK CAN EXPAND INTO THE VENT HOSE AND LEAK FUEL.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE CAN RESULT IN A FIRE.
THE REAR LAMP SOCKET MAY NOT ILLUMINATE BECAUSE THE METAL CAN IN THE LAMP SOCKET MOVES OR SEPARATES FROM THE PLASTIC SOCKET HOUSING.
Consequence & remedy

REAR LAMP MALFUNCTION CAN RESULT IN FOLLOWING DRIVERS NOT BEING ALERTED TO THE SUBJECT VEHICLE'S PRESENCE OR INTENDED ACTIONS, PARTICULARLY IN THE CASE IN WHICH BOTH LAMPS HAVE MALFUNCTIONED.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A REVISED REAR LAMP SOCKET AND WIRING ASSEMBLIES.
AN OUT-OF-SPECIFICATION CONDITION IN THE SEAT CABLE ROLLER PULLEY ASSEMBLY CAN ALLOW THE CABLE THAT CONNECTS THE SEAT ADJUST LEVER TO THE LATCH TO BE PINCHED IN THE ROLLER ASSEMBLY.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: CONSEQUENCE OF NON-COMPLIANCE: THIS CONDITION CAN PREVENT THE LATCH ON THE LEFT SIDE FROM FULLY ENGAGING THE SEAT RAIL. THIS DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENT OF FMVSS NO. 207, "SEATING SYSTEMS."
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE PULLER ASSEMBLY IN THE THIRD ROW SLIDING BENCH SEAT LATCH ASSEMBLY.
