“I was at a red light at a city block intersection. When the light turned green, I started to accelerate, then the van immediately lost power. I was able to turn the hazard lights on. I could not steer, accelerate, brake. The van slowed to a stop and I turned the key to on (it had twisted to acc on its own.) the van started back up and I continued on my drive.”

“I have had to replace the tipm twice in the 1 year I owned the vehicle. First issue I had was with the vehicle not starting after many attempts while in a undesirable location. The second time the tipm was replaced was after my headlights would either work or not work and sometimes only one headlight would turn on. It was sporadic. This could lead to safety issues.”

“My vehicle will move freely through gears, my foot does not have to be on the brake to move it out of park. Also, the key fob will not go in to the ignition but I can still start car without key fob going completely in. I contacted zimmer in burlington ky and they did not know of any recalls and they did not offer any suggestions on this safety issue.”

“The hi/low beams on my van will randomly shut off due to a faulty tipm. The first time this happened was on the way to the er in another town in the middle of the night because my son was severely sick. We could have all died because of this issue! We drove blind for a short bit while I slowed down and called for assistance. Eventually, they have quit working altogether.”

NHTSA complaint #11229184, filed 2019-07, 165,000 miles

“Our vehicle was made in august of 2010 and is not included in the ignition switch recall. We are experiencing inadvertent ignition key displacement from the run to accessory position while driving causing the engine to shut off. This has happened on both city streets and highway also has happened while turning. I fear of an accident and harm to others including my family.”
