RECALL ITEM P57/NHTSA 14V-567 RECALL WAS ISSUED 10/13/2014. THE MANUFACTURER AND THE LOCAL DEALERS STILL HAVE NOT MADE THE PART AVAILABLE TO REPAIR THE ISSUE. FREQUENTLY THE CAR WILL NOT START WHEN THE KEY FOB IS TURNED. I HAVE HAD TO WAIT UP TO 15 MINUTES REPEATEDLY TURNING THE KEY FOB BEFORE THE CAR WILL START. I CANNOT TAKE THE CAR ON TRIPS ANY DISTANCE FROM HOME FOR FEAR OF GETTING STUCK. THE RECALL ITEM IS 10-1/2 MONTHS OLD.
