MY TRANSMISSION WANT MAKE MY CAR GO IN REVERSE, AND WHEN I PUT IT IN DRIVE IT WILL GO BUT FOR A LITTLE WHILE THEN IT GROWS COULD YOU GUYS HELP ME, WHAT SHOULD I DO.

VEHICLE STARTS UP AND AS YOU ACCELERATE INTO AN INTERSECTION THE VAN DIES. MECHANIC REPLACED INTAKE MANIFOLD AND RELATED SENSORS AND CHECK THE COMPUTER BUT BELIEVES THE PROBLEM IS THE WIRING HARNESS. DIAGNOSTIC WAS RUN ON THE COMPUTER AND THAT IS NOT THE PROBLEM. MECHANIC THOUGHT HE HAD FIXED IT BUT 2 MINUTES OUT FROM THE MECHANICS SHOP THE VEHICLE DIED AND KEPT DYING AS I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR. I HAD TO MAKE IT BACK TO THE SHOP GOING ABOUT 5 MILES PER HOUR. AFTER A $843 REPAIR BILL THE VAN STILL WON'T RUN WITHOUT DYING AND IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE.

FILED COMPLAINT ABOUT DEFECTIVE AIRBAG SENSORS LAST YEAR AND HEARD NOTHING BACK.. THEY ARE STILL DEFECTIVE..THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE BUT MY VIN IS AFTER THE ONES THAT WERE RECALLED.. THEY ALSO HAVE THIS ISSUE IN 2006 TOWN AND COUNTRIES.. THEY USED THE SAME JUNK PARTS IN ALL THE VANS, WHY WEREN'T ALL OF THEM RECALLED FOR THIS..THERE IS A NUMBER YOU HAVE ISSUED FOR THIS, EA06003. HAS ANYTHING BEEN DETERMINED TO ALLOW ALL VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM TO BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL ORDER.. THANKS...

MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL TURN ON BY THEMSELVES OR STOP WORKING WHEN THEY ARE IN USE. THIS ALSO CAUSES THE HEADLIGHTS NOT OT WORK AND SOME OF THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS TO LIGHT UP. THIS IS CAUSED BY WATER SOMEHOW GETTING UNDER THE FUSE BOX AND SHORTS THE WIRES OUT. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY IN THE RAIN. I NEVER KNOW WHEN THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS.

ON 01\29\2020, THE ABS, BRAKE, AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS DISPLAYED ON THE DASH. NOW INTO WINTER, THE VEHICLE NO LONGER HAS TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS. DIAGNOSTICS REVEAL THAT THE ABS MODULE HAS PROPER POWERS AND GROUNDS EVEN UNDER LOAD. SO FAR, THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THE ABS MODULE HAS A PROBLEM WITH COMMUNICATION, DIAGNOSED AT THE LOCAL INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP. SO FAR THE VEHICLE IS NOT REPAIRED, AND CONTINUES TO BE OPERATED WITH THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL OUT OF OPERATION.

AT APPROXIMATELY 105,000 MILES I BEGAN NOTICING A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE BOTH INSIDE & OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE- RUNNING OR NOT. AT ABOUT THE SAME TIME I NOTICED A BIG DROP IN FUEL EFFICIENCY. WE ARE NOW GETTING AN AVERAGE OF 10 MPG. THE NORM IS AN AVERAGE OF 19 MPG. THE VEHICLE STARTS FINE & THERE ARE NO CHECK LIGHTS ON. I BELIEVE THE ACCELERATION IS ALSO SLOWER NOW. OUR FAMILY IS THE ORIGINAL OWNER & THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. COMMON SENSE TELLS US THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. THERE SEEM TO BE MANY OTHERS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE & IT'S DISAPPOINTING TO FIND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. WE ARE A ONE CAR FAMILY & WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE.

AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON WHEN I START THE CAR.

CENTER AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS GOING ON AND OFF.. THERE IS A RECALL ON OTHER VEHICLES LIKE THIS.. WHY NOT MINE?
