1 Owners/service Manual problem

Failure Date: 08/31/2013

On 08/31/2013 I was leaving the grocery store and my car which has push button start kept trying to start but wouldnt catch. I turned the car off and sat a few min then was able to get the vehicle started I stopped at walgreens and the vehicle did the same thing but this time I had to pull the push start button off to get it to stop trying to start itself and manually shut it off. After about 30 min of sitting with my groceries and my daughter in my hot car on my birthday of all days I was able to get it started started moving and it died in the middle of traffic leaving the parking lot. I was panicing can you imagine if I was on a highway??? I was eventually able to get assistance to get into a parking space and out of the traffic area. I had a tow truck tow my vehichle to the dealership since when we could get it to start it would start and die immediatley. I purchased the extended warranty thankfully since I just bought the vehichle used from the dealership in December of 2012 it has been only 8 months and I have had several problems. I was given a courtesy car however when I got a call the following week concerning my vehichle they said it was the ( totally integrated power module ) this is covered under my warranty if I pay the deuctible and that right now I would be lucky to see my vehicle in a month since there are more than 1840 on back order!!!!! I immediatley said then this should be a recall this is a very dangerious part since your vehicle can die even in motion. I came upon this website and now I know im not alone and this should be recalled.

2 Owners/service Manual problem

Failure Date: 05/11/2013

Purchased brand new. First incident in may we used the key fob to start the vehicle and the vehicle ran for 5 minutes then shut down. The engine completely shut down and we were not able to start the vehicle using the manual key or key fob-vehicle having it towed. Unknown cause! in June, the vehicle was started with the key fob and placed my twin 3 yr olds in the car. The key fob was placed on the passenger seat in the vehicle. All doors were shut when I was walked to the passenger side when suddenly the doors locked and the vehicle shut off after 10 minutes, 122 degrees outside. There was no reason for the doors to all lock. Massive malfunction. I had to call the 911 and have the fire department rescue my children out of the vehicle! incident unknown next, for the last 2 months we are having issues getting the car to start with the push button, key fob and manual start. We replaced the battery. No fix. Dealership determine there is not a fix as of this point and handed us the keys and told us we would have to wait until there is a fix. They stated they will call when they determined why so many vehicles have this same issue. Electrical problem? after, still problems for 2m the push start and key fob start has gotten worse. It takes 8-15 tries to get the vehicle started! problem unresolved! next this past week having same starting issues, the cars has a "fan sound" after the vehicle is turned off. It runs down the battery and battery dies every day. Now, its back into the dealership again! the car does not start for them to evan look at it! end result! they think its an electrical issue, they think they might be able to fix the starting issue after the "part" comes in and could take months, knowing 1500 plus other vehicles need this same "part" they now, offered us a rental car that doesn't fit our family of 5! problem will never be resolved!.
