Consumer Description

FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS WE HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE PASSLOCK SYSTEM ON THIS CAR. BEFORE WE WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM WE HAD THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED, IGNITION REPLACED AND SEVERAL DIAGNOSTICS, COSTING US NEARLY $1000 DOLLARS. WHEN WE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ONLINE WE REALIZED THERE LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON VARIOUS WEBSITES ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME CAR. NOT ONLY IS THIS AN UNJUSTIFIED EXPENSE FOR A FAULTY DEVICE, BUT IT COULD ALSO BE A LEGITIMATE SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS WHERE THE CAR HAS CUT OUT WHILE ACTUALLY DRIVING. AS I STATED IT HAS BEEN THREE YEARS WE HAVE DEALT WITH THIS PROBLEM AND IT STILL CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO FORCE A RECALL, DOES SOMEONE NEED TO ACTUALLY GET HURT?? *TR
