“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.”
