What owners wrote

Was driving down the road at 60MPH and my vehicle shut off. Couldn't hardly push the brake in or move my steering wheel. Had to quickly put in park to start vehicle back up. Popped up on dash. "vehicle not in park".

November 2014

Takata recall. The started modular has an issue. It will crank and not start, 7/8 of fuel. Push start engine. New batteries in remote. Car was parked and I attempted to start with both the fob and direct. Had to get it towed. Now costing almost $250. Mysync report had no indication. Neither did any lights on the dash as a warning.
