What owners report

The contact was informed that the sub frame needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 13V354000 (Suspension); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 193,430.

All the dashboard lights work, everything is as normal except it wont turn over. The dealer will not help.

Due to my own investigation into the problem, we have successfully replaced the transmission inhibitor switch twice with good results.

I'm having the problem again, not sure where to turn fo
