Check if your Vehicle has a Recall
This is a feature that my family uses all the time and I would not have purchased the van if this feature was not avaliable. When do you expect a fix?
Hopefully soon…
Two months have since passed. I haven’t heard anything. Has a solution been announced? If not, when? It has been five months since the safety recall was issued.
I would check with your local dealer, they would be the first ones to know anything.
